Teen Employee Charged in Myrtle Beach Shooting

A 17-year-old employee, Evany McCray, has been charged with murder and other felonies after fatally shooting 18-year-old Grayson Meyers during an altercation at Peaches Corner, a historic Myrtle Beach restaurant, late Friday night. The incident also left a bystander injured by a stray bullet, though the injuries were non-life-threatening. McCray admitted to the shooting in a post-arrest interview and will be tried as an adult due to the severity of the crime. Police responded within seconds of the shooting and quickly apprehended McCray. The event has sparked renewed community concerns about youth violence and prompted city officials to consider stricter curfews for minors. This marks the second high-profile teen-involved shooting in the Myrtle Beach area in recent months, intensifying local safety concerns.
