NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WBTW) – A North Carolina man will spend 45 years in jail for killing a woman and leaving her body in the parking lot of a North Myrtle Beach restaurant in 2016.
Amanda Fisher, 29, was killed July 9, 2016, outside the North Myrtle Beach K&W Cafeteria, according to Horry County Deputy Coroner Tamara Willard. The coroner says Fisher lived in Brunswick County.
Prosecutors say Fisher was shot in the head and pushed out of the vehicle outside the K&W Cafe. A witness, who was in the parking lot, said that he heard a loud popping sound and observed a man pulling the victim out of a white vehicle.
The witness said that the man then re-entered the vehicle and drove out of the parking lot accompanied by another person in the vehicle.
Evidence and witness testimony showed that Fisher and her cousin had met the men hours earlier the day she was killed. Fisher was driving to Myrtle Beach with the men in her car when she was fatally shot while stopped in the restaurant parking lot.
Those two men were later identified as Nicolas McIver, 22, and Terrell Freeman, 31, both of Charlotte, North Carolina. Both were arrested in Charlotte days after Fisher’s murder.
On Friday, an Horry County jury convicted the two men on charges related to Fisher’s death.
McIver was found guilty of murder, possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime and grand larceny. Freeman was convicted of grand larceny.
McIver was sentenced to 45 years in prison for murder and five years each for the weapon and grand larceny charges. The sentences will run concurrently. Freeman was sentenced to the maximum of five years for grand larceny.
