One of the two suspects in the beating death of a man at a nightclub Thursday morning turned himself in to deputies.

The incident happened at Casablanca’s inside Godiva’s strip club on Augusta Road around 2:30 a.m.

Deputies with the Greenville County Sheriff's Office said 30-year-old Christopher Duckett was sitting at the bar when he was approached by at least two men. They said the three men got into a fight and the victim was beaten with chairs and a table.

Investigators said when they arrived Duckett was not breathing.

Duckett was taken to Greenville Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead just before 3 a.m.

Deputies said they believe the fight was a result of an earlier altercation between acquaintances of the victim and the two men.

On Thursday afternoon, deputies signed warrants for the arrest of Marques Durant and Robert Moore in the case. Both are charged with murder.

Deputies said around 7:30 p.m. Durant turned himself in to authorities. He was being held at the Greenville County Detention Center.

Anyone with information on this case or the whereabouts of Moore should call Crime Stoppers at 23-CRIME.
