FLORENCE, SC (WBTW) – The Florence County Sheriff’s Office says a man wanted for a deadly shooting that happened in February was captured in New York and returned to South Carolina on Monday, according to booking records.
The press release from Major Michael Nunn with the sheriff’s office says Lawrence Sean Denuncio, 31, is accused of shooting and killing Marvin Chandler on Feb. 27 on South Jeffords Street.
Major Nunn says Denuncio has been charged with murder.
Denuncio was taken into custody Wednesday in Albany, New York by agents with the U.S. Marshals Service, New York/New Jersey Fugitive Taskforce-Albany Division, New York State Police and Albany Police Department.
