Walhalla, SC: Police say Oconee County woman killed daughter's boyfriend, then shot self a day later

WALHALLA, S.C. — Authorities have closed their investigation into two deaths after determining that a 42-year-old woman first killed her daughter's teen boyfriend at an Oconee County boat ramp and then herself.

The Anderson Independent-Mail reports (http://bit.ly/s7rdv0 ) that deputies used tests to confirm that Laura Gray killed 19-year-old Tylor Garren Stewart a day before using the same gun to kill herself.

Authorities say Stewart was found dead at a boat ramp in October, shot once in the back.

The next day, investigators went to the Pickens home of Stewart's girlfriend to gather information. While officers were there, Gray — the girlfriend's mother — went to the bathroom and shot herself.

Deputies say Stewart's parents told authorities Gray was having a relationship with the teen.
