Man found in Lowcountry Wednesday 
The search for a suspect in July's shooting at Cook-Out stretched from the Upstate to the Lowcountry before it ended Wednesday.
When police issued warrants for their suspect's arrest last week, they thought he had connections to Greenville or Spartanburg.
But they ultimately found him in Hampton County, near the state's southernmost tip, when Billy Jo Downs Jr., 22, of Greenville, turned himself in at the sheriff's office there, according to Columbia police spokeswoman Jennifer Timmons.
Why Downs was in the Lowcountry is unclear, Timmons said.
Downs was taken by the State Law Enforcement Division to Columbia, where he was charged with attempted murder, attempted armed robbery, discharging a firearm into an occupied conveyance and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.
He is currently being held at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center; bond for his release will be set this morning, a representative of Columbia's municipal court said.
Downs used to work at Cook-Out, where the victim was a manager, The Daily Gamecock reported in July.
The manager was in his car in the restaurant's parking lot the morning of July 21 when a man approached him with a handgun and demanded money, according to Timmons.
The manager put his car in reverse and began to drive away, when the suspect took aim at the car and fired, grazing the victim's shoulder.
He was treated at a local hospital and later released.
