Mikal Mahdi was just 21 years old when he began a crime spree that spanned four states and included two murders.
One of the victims was James Myers, a 56-year-old police captain with the Orangeburg Public Safety Department in South Carolina.

Did all three shooters miss the mark on Mikal Mahdi— or was the “mark” misplaced?
