Horry County police are seeking information from the public about a weekend shooting that left one man dead, according to a news release from Sgt. Robert Kegler.
The body of Joseph Sourdiff, 48, was found at his home by his son, Shahin Darius Sourdiff, on Saturday morning.
Police said Joseph Sourdiff died from multiple gunshot wounds at his home on Teague Road, in the Harbour Towne community by the Intracoastal Waterway.
Kegler said Monday that police are still investigating whether the son is a suspect in his father's death.
Shahin Sourdiff was arrested Saturday, but not in connection with the shooting. He was charged with first-offense manufacturing marijuana, according to jail records.
The 20-year-old was taken to the J. Reuben Long Detention Center on Saturday and released Monday on a $30,000 bail, jail records show.
Horry County's Lt. Raul Denis said evidence at the scene showed the shooting took place at the home.
Police, who responded around noon Saturday to the home, believe Sourdiff was killed about 24 hours before his body was found, Kegler said.
Shahin Sourdiff told police he found his father dead when he arrived at the house about 11 a.m. Saturday. According to police records, the younger Sourdiff doesn't live at his dad's home.
Detectives are asking that anyone who lives or was in the area of Teague Road between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Friday and may have seen anything suspicious to contact police at 915-5350 or 915-TIPS.
Detectives also are hoping to identify the driver and/or occupants of a blue sport utility vehicle and a white box van with blue markings, both of which were seen driving down Teague Road during that time period.
