May 24—Police arrested a 34-year-old for allegedly killing Dexter Sullivan, an Aiken man, over the weekend.

Aaron Azeem Williams has been charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime, according to the Aiken County Sheriff's Office. Williams was being held at the Aiken County detention center as of Monday morning.

Williams and Sullivan, 26, got into an argument on Sunday afternoon, according to police, before things turned violent. Witnesses reported six or seven shots fired and saw a blue Honda Civic in the area.

Sullivan was found bleeding and unresponsive in a wooded area along Iris Lane, where he died, according to the Aiken County Coroner's Office. Investigators found Williams along the same road at another house.

Williams was arrested "without incident," the Sheriff's Office said in an announcement.

Police are seeking information about the blue Honda and its driver. The Sheriff's Office can be reached at 803-648-6811.

U.S. agencies examine reports of early COVID-19 infections in Wuhan lab
U.S. intelligence agencies are examining reports that researchers at a Chinese virology laboratory were seriously ill in 2019 a month before the first cases of COVID-19 were reported, according to U.S. government sources who cautioned that there is still no proof the disease originated at the lab. A still-classified U.S. intelligence report circulated during former President Donald Trump's administration alleged that three Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers became so ill in November 2019 that they sought hospital care, sources familiar with U.S. intelligence reporting and analysis said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The virus first appeared in Wuhan and then spread worldwide.

Boris Johnson ‘will foot the bill’ when he marries Carrie Symonds
Boris Johnson will cover the costs of his wedding at Chequers if he chooses the 16th-century Buckinghamshire manor as the venue, government sources have said. He is set to become the first Prime Minister to get married in office in 200 years, having set a date in July next year to marry his fiancée, Carrie Symonds. The couple have sent out save-the-date cards to family and friends to inform them the ceremony will take place on July 30, The Sun reported on Monday. However, the location of the nuptials is being kept secret, it is understood. The couple could choose Chequers, the Elizabethan manor at the foot of the Chiltern Hills that has been the grace-and-favour residence of the Prime Minister since the 1920s. A government source said on Monday it was "fair to assume" that Mr Johnson would cover any costs, confirming that the taxpayer would not be left to pick up the bill for the celebration. Speculation has also arisen that the couple could opt to hold the wedding at Port Lympne safari park in Kent, where Ms Symonds works as communications chief for an animal conservation charity. They are the first unwed couple to reside at Downing Street.

Immune system has long-term defenses after mild COVID-19; children may be key carriers of virus variants
The following is a roundup of some of the latest scientific studies on the novel coronavirus and efforts to find treatments and vaccines for COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus. Months after recovery from mild COVID-19, when antibody levels in the blood have declined, immune cells in bone marrow remain ready to pump out new antibodies against the coronavirus, researchers reported on Monday in Nature. Upon infection, short-lived immune cells are generated quickly to secrete an early wave of protective antibodies.

Foreign criminals to be barred from the UK under new electronic checks, Priti Patel pledges
Foreign criminals face new electronic checks that will bar them from the UK even before they get to the border, Priti Patel has pledged. Anyone with a prison sentence of more than a year, persistent offenders, those guilty of serious harm or judged “not conducive” to the public good will be automatically blocked under a new system of US-style digital travel checks. The Home Secretary said the new system would mean checks could be done “upstream”, allowing Border Force and police to assess the risk from a prospective foreign visitor before deciding whether to ban them from the UK. Speaking at an online conference with the think tank Bright Blue, Ms Patel said the “digital border” would enable Border Force to count people “in and out” of the country. “We will have a far clearer picture of who is here, and whether they should be, and we will act if they are not,” she said. “This is something many other countries in the world have already, and it is a system where we can, effectively, do upstream checks. So this is really important in terms of border security and getting a better understanding of who is coming to the United Kingdom,” Ms Patel said. The plan for arrivals to be screened would require legislation, and “much more information and the background” would come then, she said, adding: “We’re not going to disclose all the operational tools that we will be using.” Visitors to the UK will have to pay, possibly similar to the US’s $12. The new UK system would also apply to EU arrivals, apart from those who have the existing right to live in the UK.
