NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — Earlier this month, police were called to 4th Avenue South and Hillside Drive South for a shooting. A suspect named Michael Hill faces an attempted murder charge after police said he fired shots at a bicyclist in North Myrtle Beach.

The victim told officers the shooting took place on South Ocean Boulevard at the High Tide Motel. An incident report shows that a bullet casing was found outside of the motel.

“As he was getting off his bike, a dark-colored SUV was traveling southbound on S Ocean Blvd and stopped behind him,” the incident report states.

The victim told police that a man got out of the SUV and started insulting the victim, while a woman inside the SUV told the victim to run.
