WOMAN KILLED IN CHARLESTON INTERSECTION - Charleston police were searching today for a man who they allege shot his girlfriend's mother at a West Side intersection. Joshua Howard, 18, is charged with first-degree murder in connection with the shooting death of 36-year-old Tia Terrell.
Howard and his pregnant, 17-year-old girlfriend were talking near the intersection of Iowa Street and Fifth Avenue about 6 p.m. Monday when Terrell, the girl's mother, drove up and confronted Howard, according to Charleston Police.
Howard apparently pulled a handgun and shot the unarmed Terrell, in what was described as "an ongoing domestic situation" between Terrell and Howard.
