Man guilty in fatal flea-market shooting

A Lexington County jury Wednesday found 19-year-old Samuel Harmon guilty of murder in the 2006 Barnyard Flea Market shooting death of Denise Boykin.

Harmon was sentenced to life without parole plus 15 years on charges of murder and assault and battery with intent to kill.

11th Circuit Solicitor Donnie Myers said Harmon fired 24 rounds from an AK-47 assault rifle, killing Boykin and seriously injuring another man, who were inside a car.

Authorities have said Boykin was targeted because of an ongoing gang rivalry between her boyfriend and another gang.

Several other defendants will be sentenced today.
