Three people have been arrested in connection with the June shooting death of a 56-year-old Manning man, according to the Clarendon County Sheriff’s Office.
Tykeem Davon Bradley, 27, of Columbia; J’Niyah Nashalya Cooper, 24, of Columbia; and Jordan Akeem Brock, 27, of Manning were taken into custody in connection with the death of Homero “Meadow” Dario Zunun Gonzalez.
Bradley, Cooper and Brock are each charged with murder, conspiracy and first-degree burglary. Bradley and Brock also are charged with possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
Deputies responded at approximately 11:44 p.m. June 13 to Gonzalez’s residence in the Tara Lane area of Clarendon County after receiving a report of what initially appeared to be a suicide.
Gonzalez was found dead at the scene with a gunshot wound to his upper body. After further assessment, investigators determined the injury did not appear to be self-inflicted. Authorities later classified the death as a homicide.
The sheriff’s office and South Carolina Law Enforcement Division processed the scene and began investigating the killing. Authorities initially said the incident appeared to be isolated.
Investigators later released surveillance images of a masked man and a vehicle seen near the residence around the time of the killing while seeking the public’s help identifying those involved.
The sheriff’s office did not release additional information about what led investigators to the three suspects or the circumstances surrounding the killing.
The investigation remains ongoing with assistance from SLED, the Sumter Police Department, Richland County Sheriff’s Office and FBI’s Columbia Field Office.
