    Update #1 — Five men arrested and charged with murder in Haverford Drive shooting

    Richland County deputies have arrested five men in the early Saturday shooting on Haverford Drive that killed 30-year-old Jada S. Watts and wounded an 11-year-old girl. Daquan Dotson, 33, Jamiree Pogue, 21, Elijah Curry, 21, Darrein White, 25, and David Swinton, 30, are each charged with murder, assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. Investigators say the five were in a dispute and shooting at each other, and that Watts and the girl were bystanders, not the intended targets; additional charges are expected as the investigation continues.
