A Taylors teenager has been charged with murder in the death of Sean Kennedy, a 20-year-old Greenville man, who died Wednesday night after being struck in the face outside a Pelham Road bar, according to a Greenville County Sheriff's Office warrant.

Deputies have charged Stephen Andrew Moller, 18, of 705 Pine Croft Drive, with striking Kennedy, and investigators believe the assault was due to the victim's sexual orientation, the warrant said.
