A man and woman died in a murder-suicide on Interstate 85 following a kidnapping, according to authorities in Mauldin and Anderson County. Mauldin Police Department and the Anderson County Sheriff's Office said in a statement that Nathan Orlando Cureton, 38, of Greenville, shot and killed 24-year-old Tayler Gennalee Maraj of Mauldin on May 24 before killing himself. Mauldin Police reported receiving a call at 11:40 a.m. about a kidnapping from the Spinx on Northeast Main Street in Mauldin. When officers arrived, neither Maraj nor Cureton was there. However, police confirmed from a security video that a person with a gun forced Maraj into a blue Subaru Impreza. Police said Cureton opened fire on Maraj, who was trapped inside the vehicle. He then continued driving before turning the gun on himself. The car came to a stop on the northbound side of the interstate near the Piedmont exit in Anderson County. Anderson County Sheriff's Office deputies discovered Cureton and Maraj at about 12:30 p.m. Emergency Medical Services transported Maraj to the Greenville Memorial Hospital, where she died at 12:54 p.m. More: Runway Cafe at downtown Greenville airport closes: 'We will dearly miss you all' Police said Cureton and Maraj knew each other, but the nature of their relationship was still being investigated.

City of Greenville making it easier to redevelop downtown
GREENVILLE S.C. (WSPA) – The City of Greenville is making downtown more accessible for everyone by adding a new ADA compliant ramp behind the new Spinx Market, providing safe, easy access from the city parking lot directly to Main Street. Greenville City officials said with sky high construction costs, they help private investors, such as the Spinx company, where they can. The man in charge of the city's economic development, Sam Konduros, explained how going shoulder-to-shoulder on projects with private partners is what has helped Greenville thrive. 'When we think it's a great project and we can contribute in a way that's really investing in our citizens, investing in our city and again hitting numerous goals that we have to enable a project to move forward, it really makes a lot of sense,' said Konduros. The city's funds compliment the company's $3.5 million redevelopment of the former Cooks Station building. 'It's when a developer or owner presents a great opportunity to the city but needs us to have some level of participation to make it financially feasible,' Konduros explained. He said that the city pays close attention to public access areas, especially around new developments. 'It's an enhancement of our own infrastructure and again making the city more attractive,' he said. 'It's often the difference in a project going forward or not going forward in our ability to work with them like that.' He said this project helps everyone enjoy downtown. 'Spinx created an opportunity,' Konduros said. 'Whether people choose to go inside the Spinx retail location or not to, this allows them to better access Main Street, in a wheelchair or not, 24 hours a day.' He said these are long standing partnerships. He told us Spinx has signed a 35-year lease on South Main Street. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
