LAURINBURG — A Wagram man charged in connection with a shooting that left a Laurinburg man dead is in custody, according to the Laurinburg Police Department.
Michael Anthony Robinson Jr., 36, of Wagram, is charged with first-degree murder, discharging a firearm within an enclosure to incite fear, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and going armed to the terror of the public.
Police announced Monday that Robinson had surrendered to law enforcement.

Upon arrival, officers found 46-year-old Ricky Swindell of Laurinburg inside the business with an apparent gunshot wound to the chest area, police said.
Swindell was transported to Scotland Memorial Hospital, where he later died.
Police said their investigation identified Robinson as the suspect and warrants were obtained for his arrest on the four charges.
