MARIETTA, S.C. (AP) — A South Carolina man was shot and killed Tuesday night after a state trooper tried to pull him over, authorities said.

The man killed was identified as Brian Dustin Shumway, 36, according to the Pickens County Coroner’s Office. An autopsy has been scheduled to gather more information about how he was killed.

The trooper attempted the stop on a two-lane road near Marietta, investigators said. Shumway died about 3 miles (5 kilometers) from his home, which was also in Marietta.
