The arrest of a 19-year-old man for the alleged murder of his grandparents has sent shockwaves across a quiet rural community in upstate South Carolina, where the elderly couple were well known as longtime residents and respected church members.
Authorities in Oconee County said Levi Kevin Jones was taken into custody late last week and charged with two counts of murder in connection with the deaths of Larry Moore, 76, and his wife Sandra Moore, 75. The couple were found dead inside their home near Westminster on January 15 after relatives requested a welfare check when attempts to contact them failed.
