A US convenience store owner has been charged with murder after allegedly chasing a 14-year-old boy and shooting him in the back after suspecting the boy of shoplifting, authorities said.The child, Cyrus Carmack-Belton, had gone into the store in Columbia at about 8pm on Sunday (local time) and was confronted by the owner who accused him of shoplifting, according to Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott."He did not shoplift anything. We have no evidence that he stole anything whatsoever," the sheriff said in a news conference on Monday, adding even if he had, "that's not something you shoot anybody over, much less a 14-year-old."
