Man Killed by Booby-Trapped Shotgun in South Carolina Home

Authorities say the trap was likely set by the homeowner, who is already in custody on attempted murder charges.

Jordan Dove, 34, was fatally shot while checking on a vacant family member's home in Saint Matthews, South Carolina.
Police discovered a shotgun rigged at the back door, designed to fire when someone entered, and dismantled it upon arrival.
The homeowner, Alfonzo Brown, 66, is in custody in Maryland on unrelated attempted murder charges involving other family members.
Authorities believe the booby trap was intended to target law enforcement, as the front door was barricaded and no one else was inside.
The incident is considered isolated, and police have stated there is no ongoing threat to the public.
