The young man who found his father dead Saturday morning in Myrtle Beach was arrested, but not in connection with the shooting.
Shahin Darius Sourdiff, 20, was charged with trafficking marijuana, said Horry County Police Lt. Kevin Duke.
Though an autopsy was completed Sunday on the body of Joseph Sourdiff, 48, Horry County Deputy Coroner Darris Fowler said he had no preliminary results to release.
"I can tell you that he had at least one gunshot wound," Fowler said.
The elder Sourdiff was shot early Saturday morning at his home on Teague Road, off Harbour Towne Drive in Myrtle Beach, according to Horry County police.
Shahin Sourdiff found his father dead when he arrived at the house about 11 a.m. Saturday morning. According to police records, the younger Sourdiff does not share an address with his father.
Shahin Sourdiff was taken to the J. Reuben Long Detention Center on Saturday evening.
Duke said he did not anticipate any other information being released about the case until today.
Investigators said it appeared the elder Sourdiff died early Saturday.
Lt. Raul Denis said evidence showed the shooting took place at the home.
Fowler said it can take several weeks for toxicology results to come back after an autopsy, but the preliminary cause of death could be released before those tests are completed.
