Ring camera caught murder suspect returning with the gun, SC prosecutor says
After 19-year-old Camariya Tidwell was shot and killed in May outside her family’s Rock Hill, South Carolina, home, doorbell video widely circulated online showed the suspect, Sean Xavier Hubbard , hours earlier allegedly firing a shotgun at the front door. That shocking video was taken hours before prosecutors say Hubbard went back to the house and killed Tidwell. Now, prosecutors say they have three more videos police used to identify Hubbard on May 16 when Tidwell was gunned down. That includes two videos of him near the house when Tidwell was killed, and at his parents’ house afterward with the murder weapon. After Hubbard was caught shooting at the house “in broad daylight,” another video shows Hubbard “creeping into the front yard at night where he “murdered an innocent” 19-year-old girl, prosecutor Hannah Woods told visiting Judge Eugene Griffith in court Nov. 5. “He’s then caught on video leaving the scene, he’s then caught on video at his parents’ house by their Ring camera returning with the murder weapon, wearing the same clothes he was wearing at the time of the murder.” Hubbard denies charges Hubbard, 35, has been in jail without bail since his arrest hours after Tidwell died.

‘Changed the world': Dub Massey, Rock Hill Friendship Nine civil rights hero, dies
Rock Hill has lost a hero -- A Black man of short stature whose giant courage helped change the city, South Carolina and America. Willie T. “Dub” Massey, one of the Friendship Nine civil rights protesters who went to jail for a month in 1961 in the fight against segregation and inequality for African-Americans, died Tuesday, according to family members. He was 84. David Williamson Jr., Massey’s first cousin and now the last surviving member of the Friendship Nine, said Massey helped change the country with his courage and steadfast resolve. “He never forgot what he went through, what we all went through, and he never wanted other people to forget, either,” Williamson told The Herald. “He fought, he went through what he did, not for himself. That’s not what we were about. We did what we did, he did what he did, for the future of all people in this country. He wanted a better future for every person. He wanted that for all.” Massey spent decades as a school teacher and counselor, and often spoke to groups about the Civil Rights Movement that his life was intertwined with for more than 65 years. After Friendship, Massey went on

HS football playoffs Week 2 schedule: Top games, injury questions for Dutch Fork
Dutch Fork football might start the postseason without one of its key players. Silver Foxes coach Tom Knotts said Wednesday that his son and senior quarterback Jaxon Knotts is “questionable” for Friday’s second-round Class 5A playoff game against Fort Mill. Jaxon Knotts suffered a thumb injury during the first half of the regular-season finale against White Knoll on Oct. 30. The senior has been rehabbing the injury multiple times a day to try and play in the game. Dutch Fork was off last week. Knotts, a two-year starter, is completing 71% of his passes for 2,102 yards and 29 total touchdowns this season. If Knotts can’t play, junior Jacob Brown would go in his absence. He has appeared in five games this season and is 16 of 23 for 131 yards. Dutch Fork and most of the other top teams in the area had first-round byes last week.
