Two men have been arrested for their alleged involvement in a shooting Thursday that killed one person and injured four others outside a motorcycle dealership, the Richland County Sheriff’s Department said Friday.

The incident happened in the Capital City Cycles parking lot at 7810 Two Notch Road around 4 p.m. Thursday, according to the sheriff’s department.

One man died at the scene, the other four were taken to local hospitals.

Richland County Coroner Naida Rutherford said the name of the deceased was Charles E. Lilly, 55, of Beech Island.

“We are working with the Richland County Sheriff’s Department to fully investigate this matter,” Rutherford said in a statement.

Two men remained in the hospital Friday morning, according to the Richland County Sheriff’s Department. Their conditions were unknown.

Deputies “responded to multiple reports of gunshots” and were dealing with a “very large crime scene,” a spokesperson for the sheriff’s department said Thursday night. The department said Friday it believed an argument between several people had escalated, leading to the shooting outside Capital City Cycles.

Police have arrested and charged two men for their alleged involvement.

Kristopher Wheat, 36, was charged with obstruction of justice after being released from hospital, the sheriff’s department said.

James Hill, 58, was charged with first-degree assault by the mob.

Both men were imprisoned at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center. The sheriff’s department said more charges could follow.

“We believe this is an isolated incident and do not believe there is a danger to the community,” the department said in a statement.

Capital City Cycles is located where Interstate 77 crosses Two Notch Road. The busy intersection includes many hotels, restaurants, and at least one church.

Capital City Cycles on its website describes itself as “a family-owned, operated motorcycle dealership with over 20 years of experience in the motorcycle industry. We have one of the largest motorcycle inventories in the world, including over 400 used Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

The style, ergonomics and shape of the Lawrence mark a clear departure from the classic designs of Brough Superior.

But Brough Superior is still hoping the new Lawrence will grab some attention. Only 188 copies of the Lawrence will be manufactured, in homage to the year of birth of TE Lawrence, 1888. Although the Lawrence retains a long and low stance, it still marks a difference from the rest of the Brough Superior range. modern.

Motorcycle price on installment payment is 25% higher than cash – DTI – Manila Bulletin

March 2, 2021 Diana M. Cuyler Motorcycle Price

The price of motorcycles sold in installments is 25% higher than the spot price per unit, according to Commerce and Industry Secretary Ramon M. Lopez.

Lopez said it was discovered by the DTI as it held public hearings on the draft memorandum circular that will promote payment options in consumer transactions and ban the sale of goods and services on installments only. .

According to Lopez, the price difference for motorcycles in installment payment is 25% greater than the price for payment in cash. The higher unit prices for the installment payment are due to the high interest rate, he said.

Lopez stressed the need to give consumers the choice to pay in cash to save on costs, especially if they have savings to pay for their purchases in cash.

From January 2019 to January 2021, DTI received 3,060 consumer complaints about the one-time installment payment option implemented by motorcycle dealers and stores. The complaints have reported that the motorcycle seller insists he pay in installments even though he is willing to pay the full value in cash.

Consumers should be provided with payment options when purchasing products and services, given the practice of a number of retailers requiring installment-only sales, the DTI considers it necessary to reiterate applicable provisions of the Philippine Consumer Law and other relevant laws to ensure that consumers are adequately protected.

To address this concern, the Under Secretary of State for the DTI Consumer Protection Group (CPG). Ruth B. Castelo explained, â€œDTI is stepping in to address this consumer concern by limiting their payment options not only for motorcycles, but also for other products and services they need.

DTI-CPG Assistant Secretary and DTI-CCRC Competitor OIC Atty. Ann Claire C. Cabochan explained: â€œThrough this circular, the DTI also aims to underline the consumer’s right to choose and have access among the various options for purchasing products and services, including the method of payment.

Under Article 52 of the Consumer Law (RA 7394), â€œAn act or practice is deemed to be unfair or unreasonable when the producer, manufacturer, distributor, supplier or seller, taking advantage of the physical or mental infirmity of the consumer, his ignorance, his illiteracy, lack of time or the general conditions of the environment or the environment, induces consumers to conclude a sale or a lesser transaction contrary to the interests of the consumer or grossly bias in favor of the producer, manufacturer, distributor, supplier or seller. “
