A 22-year-old South Carolina woman is in jail after Charleston police say she fatally shot a man in a grocery store parking lot.

Ticara Bolden is charged with murder, armed robbery armed with a deadly weapon and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.

At 8:20 a.m. on Saturday, an officer doing paperwork behind the Publix on Sam Rittenberg Boulevard in West Ashley heard gunshots in the area.

Police looked around the area and eventually found a man lying on the pavement with an “obvious gunshot wound.”

He was pronounced dead at the scene and later was identified as 34-year-old Hadden Smith.

Bolden was taken into custody on Tuesday. She is being held in the Al Cannon Detention Center and has a bond hearing scheduled for Wednesday at 2 p.m.

The Charleston Police Department says the investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the on-duty central detective at 843-720-2422. Anyone with information who wishes to remain anonymous is asked to contact Lowcountry Crime Stoppers at 843-554-1111.
