CHARLESTON COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) – A man accused of shooting a 17-year-old in McClellanville was arrested Thursday but agents with the U.S. Marshals Service fugitive task force.

The Charleston County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) said Friday that 25-year-old Eric Shamarr Manigualt of Awendaw is facing charges of attempted murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime in connection with the January 24 shooting.
