🌱 2nd Arrest In Greene Crossing Shooting+ Triangle City Statue

Morning, people of Columbia! It's me again, Dan Casarella, your host of the Columbia Daily.

First, today's weather:

Showers and a heavier t-storm. High: 73 Low: 60.

Here are the top three stories in Columbia today:

1. A second man has been arrested in connection with the Columbia apartment shooting that killed one person and hurt four. Dennis Tyon Williams was charged with accessory after the fact to murder and aggravated breach of peace for a shooting that occurred at Greene Crossing apartment complex. Kejuan Boyce was previously arrested. (The State)
2. West Columbia is going to display new public art in Triangle City. Officials will replace the fountain in the Triangle City area with a statue by local recycled metal sculptor Thomas Humphries. The city can spend $48,675 on public artwork. (Charleston Post Courier)
3. Are you looking for a new home in the Columbia area? Patch and Redfin collaborated to showcase new listings for homes of all sizes. Visit Patch to see all the listings. (Columbia Patch)

From my notebook:

• What a great gesture by the Hammond School! Just a few days after our Columbia Fire Department crews saved the lower school there from a fast-moving 2-alarm fire, some of our firefighters took a photo with a group of Hammond students. The school then used that photo to show their thanks through a billboard! (Facebook)
• Columbia Fireflies Fan Fest is coming up this weekend — it's going to be lots of fun! Fan Fest is going to be free and open to the public! Kids 12 and under eat free, and draft beers are half-priced. (Facebook)
