Holmes' pastor at The Power of The Word Worship Center, said Cochran was a good person who had plans to join the military after overcoming problems in his life.
"He was a very outgoing young man; he was very sweet," Brown said. "He was a part of our youth ministry. Always wanted to do the right thing. Yes, he had some trouble in the past, but when he came out, he had his head on right."
Cochran spent 10 months in prison after a conviction for strong-arm robbery. He was released in April.
On June 5, he was arrested and accused of shooting a firearm in West Ashley.

Of the many laws he was inviolation of, this is probably not one.
The incident happened in South Carolina, and though I don't know specifically, I doubt they have a prohibition on handgun ownship by those uner 21 years as Massachusetts does. In fact MA's law regarding possession of handgun for 21 and older is only since 1998.
Federal law says that FFL dealers can only sell to 21y, but prohibits ownership to juveniles (i.e. under 18). It is common in many places for a parent to give a handgun to someone 18-21 -- and was possible in MA as recently as 11 years ago.
