South Carolina prosecutors have announced their intention to seek the death penalty against a 26-year-old man, James Douglas Drayton, who was arrested nearly two years ago for the fatal shooting of five individuals. The victims were discovered in a home in Inman, located approximately 13 miles northwest of Spartanburg.
Drayton faces charges of five counts of murder and five counts of possession of a weapon during a violent crime. The victims included Thomas Ellis Anderson, James Derek Baldwin, Mark Allen Hewitt, Adam Daniel Morley, and Roman Christean Megael Rocha, who tragically passed away at a hospital following the shooting.
