An investigation of an officer-involved shooting of an amed fugitive has been completed.

Investigators found the wounded man threatened officers and was wanted in Minnesota for killing 2 people.

The shooting took place at Aloft Columbia Harbison Sept. 13.

It involved 2 Lexington County deputies and a State Law Enforcement Division agent.

SLED asked the Richland County Sheriff's Department to investigate the shooting.

On Sept. 24, Renard Lydell Carter, 30,  was extradited to Minnesota to face charges filed by the Rochester Police Department for killing his pregnant girlfriend and her 2-year-old daughter.

The incident began on Sunday, Sept. 13, when the Richland County Sheriff's Department was notified by Rochester police that Carter was in Columbia, WLTX-TV reported. 

Deputies tracked Carter to Aloft Columbia Harbison, at which time the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department and SLED were notified, since the hotel is in Lexington County.

Investigators say Lexington County deputies and SLED agents tried to talk Carter out of the room.

Carter claimed to have an assault rifle and threatened to shoot them. 

At about 10:10 pm, Carter opened the door and pointed a weapon at the officers.

The officers fired, striking Carter multiple times in the upper body. 

It was later learned the weapon Carter pointed at officers was a BB gun.

Lexington County deputies Sgt. Aaron Poole, a 14-year veteran, and Investigator Frank Ramunni, a 5-year veteran, were placed on paid administrative leave, per department policy.

Special Agent Salvatore Cirencione, a 5-year veteran with SLED, was placed on administrative duty, pending the outcome of this investigation.

Sheriff Lott said the findings will be turned over to Attorney General Alan Wilson at the request of 11th Circuit Solicitor Rick Hubbard.
