Two suspects have now been charged after a fatal shooting in Spartanburg County last month. Around 1:40 AM on February 11th, the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office received multiple reports of shots fired at the Springs Apartment Complex in Boiling Springs. One of the intended targets Tydreke Fleming called 911 saying that he and his cousin Tykeil Fleming had fled the scene and wrecked about a half a mile away.

Tuesday morning, Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright announced the arrests of Malik Tyheim Smith of Roebuck and Charlize Burgos of Magonlia, New Jersey in connection to the incident. Investigators says Tykeil Fleming was visiting Burgos at the apartment complex when the shooting occurred.
