Lexington County deputies have arrested two Columbia men accused of firing shots that killed a woman and injured a man early Wednesday morning.
Tyrese Dwan Glascho, 24, and Jalin Trevon Jordan, 18, are charged with murder, attempted murder, attempted armed robbery, criminal conspiracy and possession of a weapon during a violent crime, according to arrest warrants.
“The charges against both suspects stem from an attempted armed robbery in front of a home on Pine Grove Road,” Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said. “Detectives have determined the suspects tried to rob the man at about 2 a.m.”
