Man arrested after shooting incident

Silvano Maldonado-Estrada
A suspect is in custody following a shooting incident that occurred Sunday in northern Darlington County, authorities said.
Silvano Maldonado-Estrada was arrested after allegedly opening fire on two individuals along East Old Camden Road in the North Hartsville area. The incident prompted a response from Darlington County Sheriff’s deputies on January 19.
When law enforcement arrived at the scene, Maldonado-Estrada initially refused commands to exit into a well-lit area, leading authorities to call for backup. After a brief standoff, the suspect surrendered peacefully to deputies.
Following an investigation, Maldonado-Estrada was charged with two counts of attempted murder. A judge has denied bond.
