LONGS, S.C. — A 22-year-old U.S. Army Specialist named Yunique Demesa Weathers has been charged with murder in South Carolina.
Assigned to the 503rd Military Police Battalion, 16th Military Police Brigade at Fort Bragg, Weathers was arrested for the alleged murder of De-Erica Fisher in the city of Longs, S.C. on Sunday.
According to News 13, police officers were called to the scene near the intersection of Highway 9 and Pineneedle Drive where onlookers pointed them toward a field.
An officer then walked around a canal and heard a gunshot. He identified the suspect and ordered her to drop her weapon. Weathers apparently cleared the weapon, dropped it and surrendered.
At this point it remains unclear what led up to the altercation between Weathers and Fisher.
Weathers is being held without bond at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center in Conway, S.C.
