A 27-year-old was in jail charged with murder Saturday after he allegedly shot and killed a Good Samaritan who tried to help him when he was stuck in the snow in North Carolina, police said.
Catawba County Sheriff Coy Reid said the suspect's car slid off the road and got stuck in snow outside Charlotte, on Friday.
Some people who were passing by stopped to help. Reid said that the group believed there was something wrong with the man, so they were going to call the police.
The suspect, identified as Marvin Lee, then jumped out of the car with a pistol and allegedly opened fire, Reid said.
"He shoots and hits one of them," Reid said, adding that the victim fell to the ground.
After that "he walks over and fires multiple shots into him," Reid added.
