You’d be forgiven for thinking if you were on trial for the death of a teen, your online presence would be at the back of your mind.

But three of the four people accused of killing Kejuan Brown, 17, at a South Carolina bowling alley were said to be more preoccupied with the cameras than the courtroom.

Jamari Trayvar Fair, 18, Dennis Ezell Gibbs, 19, and Albert Lavern Taylor, 22, are facing murder, assault and battery by a mob charges as well as possession of a weapon during a violent crime.

Another 15-year-old suspect faces the same charges, though police haven’t released his name for legal reasons.

Taylor, who police believe shot Brown at Tri-City Lanes bowling alley, repeatedly asked the judge about the recording equipment

He turned to the cameras and said: ‘What’s up, y’all? You can follow me on Twitter follow me on Instagram, Snapchat.’

Brown was found in the car park with a suspected gunshot wound to his chest, said Easley Police Chief Tim Tollison.

Tollison added that a vehicle which had been described by witnesses was found at a nearby store, where the suspects were taken into custody.

It’s believed Brown and the suspects got into a row on social media before the shooting.

The trial continues.
