A Greenville man was charged today with fatally shooting the owner of an auto parts store off White Horse Road.
Chavis Laranzo Cox, 20, is accused in warrants of using a handgun on Monday to shoot Al-Waajid Samad Haneef, 38.
Haneef, who was shot in the head, was found in Haneef’s Auto Parts and Accessories at 2 Randolph St., Greenville County sheriff’s deputies said. Cox is charged in warrants with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.

A weapon recovered at the scene is being analyzed, Deputy Matthew Armstrong said.
