Police: Facebook post prompted York shooting that injured innocent bystander

Police on Tuesday arrested the second suspect in a Dec. 29 shooting that investigators say was prompted by a Facebook post.

D’Mario Mack, 26, of Clover, turned himself in at the York Police Department on Tuesday afternoon and was charged with unlawful carrying of a firearm and shooting into an occupied dwelling, according to Lt. Rich Caddell. Mack was placed in the York County Detention Center and later released on $10,000 bond.

“We went to different homes in North Carolina and South Carolina,” Caddell said of investigators’ search for Mack. “Apparently, he got the message we were about 10 minutes behind him everywhere he was and turned himself in yesterday.”

Mack and a second man, Aundraveious Laron McDowell, 21, are accused of shooting into a home on Ridgewood Lane on Dec. 29.

Dequater McCollough, whom investigators have called an “innocent bystander,” was shot in the face while standing at the back door of her sister’s home on Ridgewood Lane – a cul-de-sac off Fine Wright Avenue.

McCollough was taken to Piedmont Medical Center in Rock Hill and then to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte. Family members say she has since been released.

Mack and McDowell met on California Street to fight over a Facebook post that McDowell had reportedly made about Mack’s girlfriend, Caddell said.

“One guy made a comment about another guy’s girlfriend on Facebook,” he said. “They agreed to fight, and then the fistfight turned into a shootout.”

McDowell remains jailed under $100,000 bond, according to jail records.
