GOOSE CREEK, S.C. – The Goose Creek Police Department is investigating a homicide after someone found a body in the parking in the parking lot of a school Wednesday morning.
According to police, just after 6 a.m. the department received a 911 call in reference to a body found in the parking lot of the Mevers School of Excellence. The call came from a staff member, of the school, who had just arrived for work.
Officers immediately arrived on scene and secured the area. The body of a 31-year-old black man was located. The victim has been identified; however, his identity is being withheld until family members have been notified, police said.
Detectives said it appears the victim drove his car around midnight to the school and exited the vehicle shortly after arriving. Shell casings found at the scene, led investigators to believe this is the location that the homicide occurred.
“At no time were any of the students or staff in danger. The incident occurred prior to the school opening. As soon as the principal was notified, the students were placed on an E-learning day,” the police department said in a news release.
