\n\t\t\tA teen in South Carolina has been accused of fatally shooting his girlfriend during an argument as her 3-year-old child sat on a close-by couch and called out to his mother using her name. Jayvion Nyrek Rice was arrested and charged with one count each of murder and possession of a weapon in the course of the commission [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Jefferson County Coroner\u2019s Office initially ruled the shooting accidental, in keeping with AL.com. Nevertheless, an in depth investigation was later conducted by the department\u2019s Criminal Investigations Division and detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Towers on May 11. He was taken into custody that very same day and was later released on a $30,000 bond.<\/p>\n

An investigation into the shooting stays ongoing as authorities work to find out the circumstances regarding the incident.<\/p>\n

Following his arrest, Towers\u2019 lawyers have insisted that their client is innocent.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened to Ms. Robeson was a tragic event,\u201d his attorneys, John Amari<\/strong> and Dain Stewart<\/strong>, told People<\/em><\/a>. \u201cWhile we understand that the justice system must play out \u2026 we all know that the facts will show that Mr. Towers has no criminal history, has been a productive and upstanding citizen for his entire life and just isn’t guilty of those charges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robeson, 22, was remembered as \u201ca lady in the complete bloom of her youth\u201d in her obituary<\/a>, together with her family noting that she would have been a \u201cimplausible mother and aunt\u201d in the longer term. \u201cBut it surely was to not be-and we cannot begin to grasp why,\u201d the obituary continued.<\/p>\n
