SUMTER, S.C. (WACH, AP) -- Two men have been arrested in the shooting death of a man in Sumter last weekend.

Police have charged Corey Geddie and Christopher Lovely with murder.

Investigators say Akeen Lydell Henry, 22, was killed Saturday night after a shooting at a home on Westmoreland Road. Another person was injured in the shooting.

Henry received severe gunshot wounds to his leg. The other victim was also shot in the lower leg.

Investigators say Geddie and Lovely went to the home and got into an argument with Henry and the other victim before the shooting.

It was not clear if the suspects have lawyers.
