One dead after Sunday morning shooting

Posted

Lexington County deputies are investigating a fatal shooting in the 800 block of Meadowfield Road.

Lexington County Coroner Margaret Fisher identified the victim as James R. Metze, 51, of Columbia. He was pronounced dead at the scene due to a gunshot wound to the upper body.

“We have no reason to believe this was a random act,” Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said.

The man believed to be responsible is in custody Sunday on an unrelated charge. Detectives are interviewing him.

Anyone with information about the shooting can share tips anonymously through the Crimestoppers app or by calling 888-274-6372.
