CHARLESTON, SC (WSCS) – A judge denied bond Sunday for 22-year-old Kevin Herriott who is accused of shooting and killing his girlfriend's mother.

The victim's family said he should get the death penalty.

The sister and daughter of 50-year-old Joyce Dupree testified before the judge Sunday morning.

Bryan Antonio Williams, another victim said, "Herriott was on a mission to kill."

Charleston Police said Herriott got into a dispute with his girlfriend at around 2:30 Saturday morning at a home on Norman Street downtown.

Investigators say Herriott surrendered at police headquarters Saturday afternoon with the support of a family member and his pastor.

Police say Herriott shot his girlfriend's mother Dupree and Williams during that dispute.

Dupree died Saturday at the Medical University of South Carolina
