Teens charged after shotgun reportedly fired in Walmart parking lot

ROCK HILL, SC (WBTV) - Two people were charged after police say they fired a shotgun in the parking lot a Rock Hill Walmart then lied to the authorities about it when a cache of ammunition was found in their vehicle.

Quincy Lee, 18, was charged with discharging a firearm within city limits and Raven Oritz, 19, was charged with hindering police.

Around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday officers were called to the Walmart on the 2300 block of Dave Lyle Boulevard after shots were reportedly fired.

Once at the scene, the officers were flagged down by several people who said someone driving a lifted, dark green Ford Excursion or Chevy Suburban had stopped the vehicle and fired a shotgun before leaving the parking lot heading toward I-77.

One witness told police that a second person was in the back seat of the SUV loading an AK-47 when the driver fired the shot.

A short time later officers spotted the vehicle on the 1000 block of Bose Avenue and pulled it over. Lee, Oritz and two passengers were detained while police searched the vehicle. That search, they said, turned up a Savage 220 20 gauge shotgun, a Mossberg M00500 12 gauge shotgun, and over 100 rounds of ammunition for both shotguns as well as an AK-47.

Police also said they found matching spent shotgun shells in the Walmart parking lot and the driver's side door of the vehicle.

All four people first told police that a fifth person had been in the vehicle and was responsible for firing the shot and had the AK-47. All but Oritz eventually changed their stories and identified Lee as the shooter, according to the report.

Lee and Oritz were then taken into custody and both firearms were entered into evidence.
