This photo provided by Cherokee County jail shows Nicholas Lucas. A woman killed while looking out the window of her South Carolina home was intentionally shot by Lucas, a neighbor shooting at targets in his yard instead of by a ricocheting bullet as he had told investigators, according to authorities. The charge against Lucas was upgraded to murder on Monday, Aug. 29, 2022. COLUMBIA, S.C. —
“You can see that bullet didn't ricochet. That bullet is in pristine condition," Barnette said, showing a judge a photo on his cellphone during a bond hearing in Cherokee County on Tuesday. He said the slug was removed from the victim's chest during an autopsy. But prosecutors upgraded the charge to murder after more evidence came in, Barnette said. Murder carries 30 years to life in a conviction, while involuntary manslaughter carries up to five years.
Lucas had to turn and intentionally fire in Tate's direction to hit her and the bullet in Tate's chest matched the size of the ammunition used in the .45-caliber handgun Lucas was firing, Barnette said.
