A man now facing a murder charge was reportedly filmed firing a shotgun at a victim’s front door mere hours before the fatal event unfolded.
According to WBTV, footage from a doorbell camera on May 16 allegedly captures 34-year-old Sean Hubbard discharging the weapon at a residence in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Although Hubbard’s face is clearly visible in the video, the shotgun appears concealed within a hooded sweatshirt or jacket.
At the time of the initial shooting, the house was empty, but Hubbard is alleged to have returned later that night, around 11 p.m., when he fatally shot 19-year-old Camariya Tidwell.

Reports from WCNC indicate that Hubbard, who resides in North Carolina, was apprehended early Sunday morning in Rock Hill with the involvement of a SWAT team.
Tidwell’s relatives have further alleged that Hubbard visited the property the Tuesday prior to the murder, discharging bullets into the home.
“He shot four gunshots through my son’s room and my son and my grandson were laying in their bed,” said Tidwell’s mother, Shifarnia McCullough, according to WCNC.
That alleged incident led the family to install the video camera that captured the Saturday shooting.

Tidwell’s brother, Caleb, said Hubbard “stalked” the family for a week before Camariya was killed.
“For a week straight, he stalked my family’s home,” Caleb said, WCNC reported. “He terrorized my family.”
The violence reportedly boiled over after a cousin of Tidwell, Jamya McCullough, hired Hubbard to work on her car after she found him through social media. But the business relationship went south, and McCullough later told Hubbard she no longer wished for him to do the work.
“I told him that I didn’t want him to work on my car,” McCullough said, according to WCNC. “This man threatened me and I immediately blocked him.”

Hubbard has been charged with murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime and discharging firearms into a dwelling, according to jail records.
He is being held without bond.
The York County Sheriff’s Office did not return a request for comment.
