Store owner held without bond for 3 years acquitted of murder in teen's shooting death
A store owner in South Carolina who spent three years in jail before his trial was acquitted of a murder charge after shooting and killing an armed teen outside the store in 2023.
A jury in Richland County found Rick Chow not guilty Monday in the shooting death of 14-year-old Cyrus Cormack-Belton.
On May 28, 2023, Chow and his son, Andy Chow, pursued Cormack-Belton out of their Columbia, South Carolina, convenience store after suspecting him of shoplifting.
The father and son duo chased the teen about 100 yards before Chow shot him in the back with a .45-caliber Glock handgun, killing Cormack-Belton, according to the Post and Courier.

Cormack-Belton was carrying a semiautomatic pistol at the time, and Chow's defense contended that he aimed the gun at Andy Chow, which caused the elder Chow to fire the shot in self-defense. While the state acknowledged that the teen had a gun, they said it fell onto the street and posed no danger to the Chows.
Chow was charged with murder the day after the shooting, and subsequently held without bond for just over three years leading up to the trial.
Tensions were high in the community as locals and activists held public demonstrations in the days and weeks after Cormack-Belton's death. Crowds reportedly gathered outside Chow's store on May 29, 2023, and cheered when they learned that Chow was charged with murder.
The store was vandalized later that night.
Chow's trial lasted for three days, and according to the Post and Courier, the jury deliberated Monday for about 8 1/2 hours, from early afternoon to nearly 9 p.m., before reaching its decision.
After the not-guilty verdict, Chow was released from custody, and is now a free man for the first time since 2023.

"We’re very pleased at the jury’s deliberations and their verdict," one of Chow’s attorneys, Jack Swerling, said after the not-guilty verdict, WIS News 10 reported. "We think it was the appropriate verdict in this case. Although it was a difficult decision to come to, because you have two different stories to the extremes."
"My heart goes out to them, but a 14-year-old kid should not be roaming the streets of Columbia or South Carolina with semiautomatic pistol loaded and ready to fire," he said.
An attorney for the Cormack-Belton family, Todd Rutherford, said the family intends to file a civil lawsuit against Chow.
Fox News Digital reached out to Swerling and Fifth Circuit Solicitor Byron Gipson, who prosecuted the case.
Newark mayor questions state police tactics at Delaney Hall after Sherrill's order, calls agency 'a sword'
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka said Tuesday that he disagreed with the tactics New Jersey State Police used after they were ordered by Gov. Mikie Sherrill to secure the scene outside Delaney Hall, describing the agency as "a sword."
Clashes erupted outside outside the detention center in Newark on Friday after protesters defied an order from the State Police to relocate to a nearby "First Amendment zone." The area has seen frequent demonstrations in recent days after illegal immigrant detainees penned an open letter alleging physical and psychological torture, claiming they were being denied medical care and adequate food.
On Saturday, Sherrill said the New Jersey State Police Public Safety Response team was sent to the area in a move "absolutely necessary to protect public safety, and avoid escalation from ICE."
"I mean, clearly I agree that she was supposed to take action, 100 percent. She's the governor. She's the leader of this state. Our agencies are going to follow her, her attorney general, her staff. We're going to defer to her, because she is the leader of this state. And she needed to make strong and aggressive decisions," Baraka, a fellow Democrat, said Tuesday.

"She made a decision to involve the state police, which is probably the tools that she has at her disposal. So I don't disagree with any of that up to that point. What I disagree with is the tactics that were employed by the state police when they got here," he continued.
"Look, the state police is a sword. If you're going to use them, you have to expect people to get cut. And those are the thinking that has to go into this. And I just think that we, going forward, have to have larger discussions about tactics on the ground. The local authorities, our public safety director has to be involved in every decision going forward in our city. Right? The elected officials have to be involved, our health department," Baraka also said. "And to their credit, there have been cross conversations with individuals, but not collective ones. And we finally had a collective conversation."
Baraka also mentioned Tuesday that the city of Newark has been in active litigation against GEO Group, the operators of Delaney Hall, for the past year. GEO Group has a national contract with ICE.

"And from the beginning, we have advocated for the immediate closure of this building, Delaney Hall, due to the GEO Group's failure to comply with code ordinances, which we believe pose a serious health and safety risk," he said.
"The reports of detainees suffering miscarriages, receiving inadequate medical care, psychological abuse, is troubling, which forces us now to expand, and our business administrator will talk about that, our lawsuit against Delaney Hall, further than just code enforcement violations," Baraka continued.
Newark Business Administrator Eric Pennington said Tuesday that he sent an email to the GEO Group Monday night "indicating that we want to get access" to Delaney Hall "to make sure that the health and safety of the individuals inside is appropriate."
"We have not received a response yet but we expect to get that today. If they don't allow us in, we, along with partners who are out here to protect the individuals inside, they will join our lawsuit ... along with the state health department ... to have this facility shut down until it can be inspected and ensured that it is safe for the individuals who are in there," Pennington said. "So we are awaiting GEO Group's response now and we expect to go to the court within the next day or two, to continue the existing lawsuit."
A DHS spokesperson told Fox News Digital last week that all detainees are provided with three meals a day, clean water, clothing, bedding, showers, soap and toiletries.
"Illegal aliens also have access to phones to communicate with their family members and lawyers, the spokesperson said. "Certified dietitians evaluate meals. In fact, ICE has higher detention standards than most U.S. prisons that hold actual U.S. citizens."

Insane preview released for new A24 film 'Onslaught,' stars Adria Arjona and Rebecca Hall
A24's new movie "Onslaught" looks like a shot of adrenaline to the chest.
Basic info:
'DUTTON RANCH' STAR NATALIE ALYN LIND STIRS UP SPECULATION ABOUT SHOW'S FUTURE WITH SIMPLE COMMENTS
A24 is famous for making movies that buck Hollywood trends with budgets that aren't extremely high but often play well at the box office.
It's a very impressive entertainment company, and it looks like "Onslaught" will stick to the proven formula, judging from the trailer released Tuesday.
Give it a watch below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
IRAQ VETERAN BRINGS RAW REALITY OF BATTLE TO BIG SCREEN WITH 'WARFARE'
Looks like a fun take on the "super soldier gone wrong" storyline. Throw in the underdog element with Adria Arjona leading the way, and it's easy to see why "Onslaught" might do significant numbers at the box office.
Turns out that if a studio makes a film that is even partially original instead of superhero slop or the 13th installment in a franchise series, that people will care.
Again, A24 has a proven record. "Warfare" is one of the most impressive war movies that I've ever seen, and "Civil War" is also a lot of fun, even if it's a bit crazy at times.
It appears that "Onslaught" will have a similar energy to the latter.
You can catch "Onslaught" starting Sept. 4, and make sure to let me know your thoughts on the trailer at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
Fetterman on why he supports Trump's ballroom, and his shock at Democrats who doubt last assassination attempt
FIRST ON FOX — Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., discussed why he supports President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project in an interview published Tuesday, where he also assailed members of his own party who doubted the validity of the April assassination attempt.
During an interview segment on "The Katie Miller Podcast," Miller and Fetterman discussed the April 25 shooting during the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, which Trump was attending for the first time as president. Miller was also in attendance with her husband, White House senior advisor Stephen Miller.
"Now more than a third of my party thinks that was a hoax, that’s wild," Fetterman said in a clip obtained by Fox News Digital. "Everyone was there, you could confirm that was real in the middle of that. And the first assassination [attempt in Butler] where he was hit in the [ear], that was in my state. And how crazy, how dangerous and how awful that was. And half an inch over to the left … and that could have plunged our nation into untold chaos."
A poll in April found about one-third of Democratic respondents thought the April 25 shooting was staged.
Fetterman recounted how the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner could have impacted the country.
"And now here we were, back at that event and walking in, it takes 30 minutes to get to the table, you can confirm how crowded it is there… the entire line of succession is in a room not much bigger than where we [are] shooting this," he said.
"So that’s why, there should be a secure facility like a ballroom," the Pennsylvania senator added.
In May, Trump told reporters that the future White House ballroom would not just serve as an event venue, but as a hardened security structure designed to support presidential operations and large gatherings amid heightened concerns following the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.
WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER SHOOTING SHARPENS FOCUS ON TRUMP’S BALLROOM CONSTRUCTION PROPOSAL
Trump said the ballroom will run about six stories deep, describing the building as made of "impenetrable" steel and four-inch-thick glass. He said 9,000 pounds of concrete is being used.
"For me, he could start it today, it’s not going to be finished by the time the term’s up," Fetterman told Miller. "So it’s like that phrase, ‘Planting a tree that you are not going to sit under the shade of it,’ kind of thing. So it’s like a facility that’s necessary, anyone that’s been at those kinds of events at the House, it’s under a tent and people wearing shoes unlike yours in the mud and grass and that's just not what’s appropriate for a nation like ours."
'SHARK TANK' STAR BACKS TRUMP'S WHITE HOUSE BALLROOM PLAN AMID SECURITY CONCERNS: ‘IT’S BIPARTISAN’
Fetterman's full interview with Miller will be published at 6 p.m. ET.
The appearance by Fetterman, whose steadfast support for Israel has made him no shortage of enemies on the left, on the conservative figure's podcast had far-left journalist Mehdi Hasan fuming.

Analyst says Jaxson Dart 'punted' on 'most important question' regarding Trump introduction
Jaxson Dart faced the music last week when he gave a statement in response to introducing President Donald Trump at an event in New York.
The New York Giants quarterback was invited to introduce Trump, and it prompted backlash from fans, media and even teammate Abdul Carter.
Nonetheless, Dart addressed the situation in an effort to put it in the past, yet in doing so, he received further backlash from Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio.

Dart explained that he had a "unique opportunity" to introduce the president of the United States, and "the President position has always been a position that I've well respected, regardless of political affiliation, regardless of political party and, you know, my intentions were just that."
But Florio said that Dart "punted" on "the most important question" he was asked by the press — if he realized why the decision to introduce Trump was controversial.
"That’s the only question that needed to be answered," Florio said on Monday's edition of "Pro Football Talk Live." "And well, ‘I’ll refer back to my statement,’ but your statement doesn’t address that. Your statement tries to make it apolitical. You can’t. It’s impossible to make that gesture at this moment, in this time, apolitical. Merely being there and introducing the president is a political statement.
"That’s where I think we need to be realistic, and anybody who would say it’s not political is trying to advance their own agenda to excuse Dart and criticize Abdul Carter."
Carter said on X that he thought a video of Dart and Trump was "AI," adding, "What are we doing man?"
Dart added that he understands politics are "a sensitive matter" and that being the team's starting quarterback carries responsibility. Dart and Carter hugged it out after they spoke to the media about the ordeal.
"Stand on what you believe in. But it can't be a problem when I stand on what I believe in. That's all that matters to me. As long as we have that understanding, it's all good," Carter said.
"I mean, we just talked," Dart added. "You know, me and Abdul came here at the same time. We shared a lot of very similar experiences. We've experienced adversity through a season and had to have each other's backs and that's exactly what we continued to do today."
Jameis Winston said he was "proud of" Dart and Carter "for having this conversation and getting in front of y'all and speaking what they would love.
"I'm proud of our team for understanding that we don't have to pick a side in this," he added.

WATCH: Schiff ducks Platner questions as embattled Dem Senate hopeful hits DC
Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., dodged questions when asked whether he stood by Graham Platner, the embattled Maine Democrat whose Senate bid has become too big for his party to ignore and too messy for some Democrats to rally behind.
Schiff declined to answer when asked by Fox News Digital whether he was still supporting Platner, despite the Senate candidate being embroiled in multiple controversies.
"I'm going to an interview upstairs," he responded.
Schiff later told CNN that he would "wait to learn more about these recent allegations involving his texting other women."
SANDERS SAYS PLATNER HAS THE 'GUTS' TO FIGHT BILLIONAIRES DESPITE GROWING SCANDAL PILEUP
"Ultimately, though it's going to be up to Maine voters what they decide how important or unimportant that is, and how important to focus on the economy, cost of living," Schiff said. "And those issues are, but I'm going to wait until I know more about what just came out in the last 24, 48 hours to really say more about it."
Schiff, like several other Democrats, has not officially endorsed Platner.
Others appear more willing to stomach the seemingly ever-growing list of scandals attached to the scandal-plagued candidate.
Sen. Angela Alsobrooks, D-Md., who similarly has not officially endorsed Platner, wants to flip the Senate.
"I’m supporting all Democrats," Alsobrooks told Fox News Digital.
DEMOCRATS BREAK WITH SCANDAL-PLAGUED GRAHAM PLATNER, WARN OF 'CIVIL WAR' IN PARTY
"I don’t know him. Honestly, I’ve never met him," she continued. "What I do know is that I’m supporting Democrats. We need Democrats in office to fight back against Donald Trump, and I’m supporting them."
The reckoning among Democrats comes months after the start of Platner’s public relations woes, which began when video surfaced of him sporting a totenkopf, or death’s head tattoo, on his chest — a symbol of the Nazi war machine from World War II.
The dam broke in recent weeks, with old Reddit posts resurfacing in which Platner waxes on veterans, sexual assault and other topics. He’s also embroiled in a sexting scandal and was most recently found to have a profile on the controversial Kik platform.
Now he's coming to Washington, D.C., on Tuesday to hold a confab with Senate Democrats.
PLATNER STILL HAS ACTIVE ACCOUNT ON ANONYMOUS APP DUBBED 'PREDATOR'S PARADISE' AMID CHEATING SCANDAL
His most vocal supporter in the Senate, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., argued that the deluge of scandals was because of Platner’s stance against billionaires.
"What we're looking at right now is a situation where billionaires have already pledged to spend $90 million in a tiny state like Maine," Sanders said. "Trust me, that is a lot of money. They don't want him in."
Others who have backed him, including Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., aren’t cutting the candidate loose.
Meanwhile, Republicans aren’t letting the moment pass to go after Platner in defense of their colleague and longtime incumbent Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine.
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., told Fox News Digital what he believed voters thought of the insurgent candidate.
"Here’s how I think most fair-minded Americans view Mr. Platner. They think that Jesus loves him but, in their opinion, he’s an idiot," Kennedy said.
Chicago high school faces outcry after axing Arabic program
A Chicago high school's decision to eliminate its Arabic language program due to low enrollment and budget constraints has sparked backlash from community members who argue the course is vital for inclusion and diversity.
Lincoln Park High School (LPHS) announced it will no longer offer Arabic to incoming freshmen. The decision comes as Chicago Public Schools (CPS) grapples with a projected $732.5 million deficit, forcing district-wide cuts to teaching and administrative staff, according to a new report by The Chicago Tribune.
LPHS Principal Eric Steinmiller defended the decision during a May 21 local school council meeting. Steinmiller explained that beyond the district’s severe financial constraints, the Arabic program enrolled a total of just 20 students this year and ranked as the school's "lowest-performing" International Baccalaureate (IB) language track based on test scores.
However, the decision has upset local activists, parents, and students who are demanding the administration reverse course. An online petition protesting the cancellation has already garnered more than 1,500 signatures.
CHICAGO SCHOOLS FACE ENROLLMENT CRISIS WITH 150 BUILDINGS HALF-EMPTY
"Eliminating access to Arabic for incoming students would limit educational opportunities and reduce the diversity of language offerings available at LPHS," the petition reads. "Language programs are essential not only for academic growth, but also for fostering empathy, inclusion, and cross-cultural understanding within our school community."
The group frames the programming as evidence of the school's "commitment to educational equity, multicultural learning, and the long-term success of LPHS students."
The Chicago branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) also criticized the school's decision. Jordan Esparza-Kelley, communications coordinator for CAIR-Chicago, argued the language provides vital real-world skills, similar to learning Spanish.
"No one would propose the removal of trigonometry at a school, right? However, only a subset of students will go on in their life and do that specific variant of math," Esparza-Kelley argued. "The other side of that is every student there speaks. Language programs in general, I think, are more fruitful than some of the other programs that would never have a floating question mark over their heads."
Students who spoke at the LSC meeting claimed the program suffered from low enrollment because school leadership under-promoted it to students.
Steinmiller noted that the school sought external funding to keep the program afloat. In 2022, LPHS was awarded a one-time, $100,000 grant spread over three years from the Qatar Foundation International. However, that funding was not enough to sustain the program long-term, according to LSC co-chair Amy Zemnick.
"I’m not saying there’s not value in the program, and if there was money, absolutely, we would love to keep it, but there’s a lot of different factors here that play into why it’s not sustainable," Zemnick told The Tribune. "The main one being we just don’t have the money or the kids."
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Chicago Public Schools reaffirmed that financial constraints and a lack of student interest left them with no choice.

"Chicago Public Schools (CPS) works continuously to provide a well-rounded and high-quality education in all settings, with lots of options, to best prepare students for college and careers," a spokesperson said. "Lincoln Park High School administrators are committed to a curriculum that honors and reflects the diversity of Chicago and the world. The school, however, can no longer justify the costs associated with the Arabic language programming due to a significant decline in student interest."
CPS noted that nine other schools across the district still offer Arabic as a world language. The district added that the 16 LPHS students currently enrolled in the track will be permitted to finish their fourth and final year of the program next year.
Todd Blanche reveals DOJ unearthed cache of Jack Smith documents inside forgotten room
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche revealed that the Department of Justice discovered a room packed with documents from former special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into Donald Trump.
Speaking on the "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" podcast, Blanche said the room was not officially a "secret" but that personnel were unaware of it. His comments come after FBI Director Kash Patel and former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino also discussed documents discovered by investigators.
"We found a room like that at DOJ, a few months ago," Blanche said. "It's not fair to say it was a secret room, but it's a room that had a lot of material in it."
Blanche added that the documents were found in "burn bags," which are typically used to destroy sensitive documents for security purposes. He said while it’s not uncommon to use these types of bags to get rid of sensitive information, where it was left led him to believe an "honorable" agent may have been trying to preserve it.
PATEL FOUND THOUSANDS OF SENSITIVE TRUMP–RUSSIA PROBE DOCS INSIDE 'BURN BAGS' IN SECRET ROOM AT FBI
"It's not the existence of a burn bag that I think is interesting or problematic depending on which side you're on," Blanche said.
"This one was in a place where I get the point that an honorable FBI agent might have left it there because it was not where it would normally be to be destroyed," he added. "[We] kind of stumbled on it, but it looked almost intentional."
In April, Bongino revealed to Hannity that they’d found a "mother lode" of documents tied to the "Russiagate" investigation that he alleges were meant to be destroyed.
PATEL FIRES BACK AT MEDIA CRITICS AFTER UNCOVERING SECRET FBI 'BURN BAGS' WITH CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS
"That was basically the keys to the kingdom on Crossfire. And the document was so sensitive, we were not even to carry it outside of the office," Bongino said.
"I'm reading this document, and I'm like, ‘I can't believe this happened in the United States.’ It wasn't just that it happened in the United States, it was that so many people knew about it," he said. "All you had to do was read it. This thing was bulls--- from the start."
Bongino said the roughly 100-page document reshaped his understanding of the probe. He said he was "scared" by how many people were involved and did not speak up.
"Crossfire Hurricane" was the FBI’s probe into potential collusion between President Donald Trump and Russia. In July 2025, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard alleged the Obama administration promoted a narrative about Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election that she said officials knew was wrong.

Ex-USMNT star sets USA's benchmark for successful World Cup, talks excitement of final being in his home state
For Tim Howard, this year's World Cup is a full-circle moment.
Raised in central New Jersey and becoming pro in his home state, the World Cup final will be held roughly 35 miles away from where the former United States Men's National Team goaltender grew up.
When the bidding for the final took place, Howard knew exactly where it had to be played.

"I heard Dallas, and I love Dallas. Good, good town, but I just said the World Cup final could only really ever be in one place, and it had to be in the New York, New Jersey area," Howard told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.
"I've never been to a World Cup final. I have never been around a World Cup final. I'm 47 years old, I've only ever seen the World Cup final on TV. So, you know, to be in New York during it, it's sort of crazy to think about. It's pinch myself sort of territory."
Howard has never been to a World Cup final, because his USA squads never got to one. In fact, no USA team has ever made it. And Howard doesn't exactly expect this one to make it either.
But there is a mark that this year's team does have to reach in order for the World Cup to not be considered a failure for the Stars and Stripes.
CHRISTIAN PULISIC HEADLINES OFFICIAL USMNT WORLD CUP ROSTER AS DIEGO LUNA, TANNER TESSMAN LEFT OUT
"I think we win the group, and we should win the group. So, start there," Howard began. The USA is the highest-ranked team in its group that also includes Australia, Paraguay and Turkey.
"I think if you win the group, and you finish first, in the Round of 32, you're going to get a third-place team, which, hopefully, as we start to peel back the layers, shouldn't be any better than any team you had just beaten in the knockout phase, right?"
From then on, it's house money, Howard said.
"And then I think, if my calculations are correct, in the Round of 16 they're going to have to roll their sleeves up and sort of beat a bully, a top-10 team in the world, right? But that's sort of how it should be. And if they can do that, a top-10, top-20 team, then they get themselves to the quarterfinal," he said.
"Now, that's easy on paper. A lot of things have to happen. I think this is a really talented team. Can they come together, all play their best soccer at the same time? We'll see. But I do think they have the potential to do that."
Howard is, of course, hoping this team goes the distance, which may provide some extra uniform cleaning. Howard knows all about that as a lifelong athlete who continues to live a healthy lifestyle and partnered with Lysol ahead of this year's World Cup.
"I'm not on the field anymore, but I know that after a long match, practice, workout, whatever it is, my clothes stink. I also know that Lysol Laundry Sanitizer is my absolute go-to," he said. "It kills 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria in laundry. So, it's a natural fit as you can imagine with all of the sweating and working out that I did."
If Team USA's tournament does not go as planned, though, there is a silver lining, Howard said.
"If the United States Men's National Team has a tragic summary, and they fail, and they don't get out of the group, soccer's not going to go backwards in this country. It's not," he said. "People will be disappointed, but the money and the infrastructure and the support are still going to be there.
"They're just going to be hungrier for success."
