Police confirm fatal shooting at Columbia bar; suspect charged with murder

A 33-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting that took place early Sunday morning at Ole Place Bar on Two Notch Road in Columbia, South Carolina. Police identified the victim as 24-year-old Taniya Hall, who died from her injuries, while two other individuals were hospitalized.

According to the Columbia Police Department (CPD), the shooting occurred after a fight broke out inside the bar. Authorities reported that Marvin Edmond, 33, began firing shots during the altercation, striking three people. Two women suffered critical injuries, and a man received non-life-threatening wounds. Hall was pronounced dead at the scene.

Edmond was arrested Sunday afternoon and faces multiple charges, including murder, two counts of attempted murder, possession of a firearm during a violent crime, and possession of a handgun by a prohibited person. The investigation remains active, with officials urging the public to avoid speculation as details continue to develop.

The incident has drawn attention to ongoing concerns about gun violence in public spaces, particularly in bars and nightlife venues. Local officials have not yet provided further context on the fight or the circumstances leading to the shooting, though law enforcement agencies are reviewing surveillance footage and witness statements.

No additional details about the victims or the suspect have been released to protect the privacy of those involved. The Richland County Coroner’s Office confirmed Hall’s death but did not disclose further medical specifics.

Authorities have not yet announced whether Edmond will appear in court immediately or if a preliminary hearing has been scheduled. The CPD has requested the public’s assistance in providing any information related to the incident, urging witnesses to come forward.
