LANCASTER COUNTY, S.C. (WBTV) - A man wanted in the killing of a Monroe mother of five has been arrested.

A manhunt got underway for 25-year-old Byron Watkins Thursday as a SWAT situation unfolded in Union County.

Watkins, who deputies say was considered “armed and extremely dangerous,” was arrested in Lexington County, South Carolina, around 1 a.m.

Watkins is one of two men facing charges in the killing of Lucero Sosa Capote. Officials say Watkins and 19-year-old Antwan David Sturdivant broke into Capote’s home on Tower Court around 4:40 a.m. July 12 to rob the place. Capote was shot and killed while trying to protect her children. Two of her children were injured.

Watkins arrest follows Thursday’s SWAT situation along the NC/SC border on Winterberry Lane. Deputies say they went there to serve a warrant on Watkins.

A shot was apparently fired in the SWAT encounter, but it was not made clear who fired the shot. Officials say no officers were hurt.

SC SWAT team? I promise you Asshole fired the shot, because if it had been one of the cops, Asshole would have been in the hospital, minimum. The average Southern cop is not someone you want shooting at you. A SWAT guy? Good luck with that.
