Warrants: Homeowner shoots at suspects who broke into garage in Green Sea area

HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF) – New details have been released about a burglary-turned-shooting last week in Horry County.

Roderick Bell was booked into jail on Friday, while Dimitrious Murray was arrested on Saturday. Both face burglary charges.

Horry County police were called just before 4 a.m. Friday to a home off Green Sea Road in Green Sea for a burglary.

The suspects and a third unnamed co-defendant broke into the homeowner’s garage to try and steal his motorcycles, according to a police report.

But the homeowner received a notification on his phone about movement detected, and he woke up, catching the suspects in the garage. The homeowner shot his gun and that’s when the suspects took off.

Arrest warrants confirmed Murray was shot in his right shoulder during the incident.

Murray and Bell were caught by the dog team after they ditched their vehicle on St. Joseph Drive and ran away.

The third co-defendant hasn’t been identified, WMBF News has reached out to HCPD to learn more.
