The murder of 17-year-old Marley Lion happened in a parking lot right off of Savannah Highway in West Ashley. The shooting was caught on surveillance video and the shooter was last seen heading into the Ardmore Neighborhood.
Charleston Police Officer Nate Fry patrols the Ardmore Neighborhood just about everyday and night.
"I wish I was working at four o'clock in the morning when the homicide occurred, we would have been right here. We would have had a good chance to catch the suspect," said Fry.
Fry said the Ardmore Neighborhood was the only place for the shooter to run.
"In order for them to have any type of escape route it would be into the Ardmore Neighborhood. I think it's unfair that the people that don't live in this neighborhood. Thinks it's automatically someone that lives in that neighborhood. We don't know that. Nobody will know that until we find that suspect," said Fry.
