SUMTER, S.C. (AP) - Sumter County deputies say a man was killed in a home invasion at a house where investigators also found a large amount of cocaine and cash.

Investigators told The Item of Sumter reports that 26-year-old Antonio Dixon was shot in the chest Friday night by someone who kicked in his door.

Deputies say Dixon ran to his backyard after the shooting and spoke to officers, but died before paramedics arrived.

Sheriff's Capt. Allen Dailey says the money has been taken to a bank to be counted, and the amount of cocaine indicates someone was selling the drugs.

No arrests have been made in the case.
