Man charged in slayings of SC officer, Ga. woman (AP)

AIKEN, S.C. ? Authorities say a 26-year-old man faces murder charges in two states following the fatal shootings of a South Carolina police officer and a Georgia woman.

Police in South Carolina say Joshua Tremaine Jones has been charged with murder in the death of Aiken police Master Cpl. Sandra Rogers. The nearly 28-year veteran was shot Saturday morning after responding to a report of suspicious activity involving two cars near a local park.

Jones was arrested hours later in Batesburg. Police said Saturday evening that the 49-year-old Rogers had died at an area hospital.

In neighboring Georgia, The Augusta Chronicle is reporting that Jones is also facing murder charges in the death of his girlfriend, 21-year-old Cayce Vice. Her body was found Saturday morning in her apartment; she had been shot in the head.

Richmond County sheriff's Capt. Scott Peebles said warrants had been obtained for murder and a firearms charge.

A phone message left late Saturday for the sheriff's office was not immediately returned.
