    Sheriff's Deputies responded to the scene to find a 44 yr. old Beaufort County man dead at the scene from apparent gunshot wounds.

    After conducting interviews of eyewitnesses, processing and collecting evidence which included video from the store and the service of a search warrant at the suspect's residence, Beaufort County Sheriff's Investigators have charged William Charles Waters, age 33, of Washington with one open count of Murder for the shooting death of 44 yr old Jamie Stewart Daniels.

In case you have not heard about this horrendous crime already ...

For whatever reason, the Beaufort County Sheriff stopped sending press releases to BCN - the largest online publication in the history of Beaufort County - so we will check their website and bring that to you as we can.

Then again maybe, the Beaufort County Sheriff will make the obvious correction.
