Shocking Incident in Myrtle Beach: Local Man Arrested After Shooting
This past weekend in Myrtle Beach took a distressing turn when a 19-year-old local, identified as Delino Dennison, found himself in hot water following a shooting in the Little River area. It’s a reminder that while our beautiful coast is often a hub of fun and sun, we can sometimes see events that really shake us up.
The Details of the Incident
According to police reports, the incident occurred around 1 p.m. on Sunday, not far from Union Baptist Church off Highway 57. What should have been a relaxing day for many quickly turned into chaos as two individuals were injured from multiple gunshot wounds and had to rush to nearby hospitals in personal vehicles. Details regarding their conditions have not been made public yet, leaving us all hoping for a speedy recovery.
The Arrest
As the dust settled, authorities arrested Dennison later that evening, around 6:30 p.m., and booked him into the J. Reuben Long Detention Center. He now faces serious charges that include two counts of attempted murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and unlawful possession of a pistol. These are not light charges and show that law enforcement is taking this incident very seriously.
What Happened Afterwards?
In a post-Miranda interview, Dennison reportedly admitted to firing the handgun, which raises some eyebrows considering he was already prohibited from having a firearm. This part of the story has many community members wondering how incidents like this can happen in our neighborhood.
