Man Arrested, Another Sought in Columbia Homicide

Authorities have charged one man and are looking for another in a deadly Columbia shooting.

Eighteen-year-old Jadarius Sanders, of Columbia, was arrested and charged Thursday with suspicious of hindering prosecution and tampering with physical evidence. Bond is set at $100,000. No attorney is listed for him in online court records.

Police said in a news release that authorities are looking for a second man on a felony warrant for second-degree murder.

The charges stem from the death of 17-year-old Marquez Reed. He was found wounded Wednesday night and rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police said an investigation found that Reed was involved in a disturbance with people in a vehicle that Sanders was driving and was shot while standing outside. The vehicle fled before police arrived.
