Donovan McMillan, 25-year-old of Hartsville and Chauntress Evelyn Like, 21-year-old of Ohio, were the victims in the Friday’s shooting that took place in Florence motel.

Both of them were responsible for 3 separate robberies of which one occurred last year while the second and the third this year.

Officers attempted to serve multiple felony warrants on March 19, but two shots were heard just after officers knocked on the door.
