Darlington County sheriff’s deputies are investigating the death of a Hartsville man who was shot early Thursday morning after another man said someone threw a firebomb on his car.
The shooting happened just after midnight at a residence on East Old Camden Road, according to a press release from Sheriff Wayne Byrd. Deputies responded to the scene after someone called 911 to report an altercation at his neighbor’s home involving a Molotov cocktail.
The resident told deputies he was inside his house when a man drove his car into his yard, got out, threw something on the resident’s car and set it on fire. He said he yelled at the man and his passengers to stop, then walked outside onto his porch with a handgun and shot at the suspects’ car, according to the release.
The car sped from the scene. A few minutes later, a man identified as 31-year-old Jason Winburn in Hartsville, was brought to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead of a gunshot wound, according to a press release from Darlington County Coroner Todd Hardee. Winburn’s body has been taken to Newberry for an autopsy.
Another man, 27-year-old Willie Smith of 655 Washington St., Hartsville, was treated for a gunshot in the hand at the hospital, then arrested along with 19-year-old Enos Thomas of Hartsville, according to the release. Both men are charged with second-degree arson and are in custody at the Darlington County Detention Center awaiting bond hearings, according to the release.
The resident has not been charged in this incident, which remains under investigation, Byrd said.
