A police officer in South Carolina has been fired after allegedly helping his son, who is charged in a double murder investigation.

Alexander Dukes Sr.'s son, Antwone Dukes, 22, was arrested on Oct. 6 and charged in the deaths of two men stemming from a shooting in a Dollar General parking lot.

Antwone Dukes was also shot, which Sumter County deputies believe was the result of a planned armed robbery.
