A man has been arrested and charged with murder in connection to the death of J'Shaad Jones, who was shot earlier this week outside a Charleston bar.
Marlon Rush is charged with murder, said Lt. Steve Cooper, chief of detectives for the Charleston Police Department.
Jones, 18, of Charleston, was killed in the early morning hours of Dec.31 outside of Artie's Kickback Lounge, at 935 Central Ave.
He was shot in the "upper body" somewhere outside of the bar, which was open, then collapsed in a field behind the bar, Cooper said previously. Jones was pronounced dead at Charleston Area Medical Center's General Hospital.
Jones was wanted in connection to the shooting of 18-year-old Malik Hawke on Dec. 13 in the 200 block of Bream Street. Hawke survived but suffered wounds to the arm and leg.
