A South Carolina woman was arrested on multiple charges Wednesday after a man who was her neighbor was shot and killed, according to the Richland County Sheriff's Department .

Charnika Wright, 46, was charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime, the sheriff's department said in a news release.

At about 3 p.m., deputies responded to a report of a shooting in the cul-de-sac of Hedgefiled Court , according to the release. That's in Irmo, near Broad River Road and not far from its junction with Lake Murray Boulevard.

Prior to arriving, deputies were told the suspected shooter, Wright, was still there, the sheriff's department said. When the first deputy got to the neighborhood, he located and detained Wright, according to the release.

The deputy also found a man nearby who had been shot in the upper body, the sheriff's department said. Deputies provided care before EMS took the victim to a local hospital where he died shortly thereafter from the injury he suffered in the shooting, according to the release.

No other injuries were reported.

The sheriff's department said the shooting "was the result of a neighbor dispute." Further information about the dispute was not available.
