What kind of parent names their child "Wyatt Earp"?

It's sad that this man was shot, for whatever reason, and my condolences go out to the family. The suspected shooter's name intrigues me though...Wyatt Earp...what on earth would possess someone to name their child Wyatt Earp??? It takes all kinds, I guess.

Authorities seek suspect in Greenville slaying

Authorities have named a suspect in the shooting death of a man Wednesday and are continuing to search for him this morning.

Wyatt Earp Harper, 51, of 33 Seventh St. Judson in Greenville, has been charged with murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime and unlawful weapons possession in the death of Lonnie Bernard Oglesby, 53, of Anderson, who was shot in a yard at 114 A Taylor St. and later died Greenville Memorial Hospital.

Master Dep. Michael Hildebrand of the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office said investigators were able to "locate witnesses" who provided information in the case.

Hildebrand said they still had not determined a motive for the case, which happened between Greenville’s West End and Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital.

Investigators believe Harper is still in the area and should be considered armed and dangerous, Hildebrand said.

Anyone with information may call CrimeStoppers at 23-CRIME.
