Tyreek Jawaun Pettigrew, 20, was last seen in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, on the afternoon of February 21, 2018. He was observed around 3:00 p.m. at a Fuel Express on U.S. 17-A driving his mother’s black 2007 Nissan Infiniti G35, wearing a red, green, and white Mexico soccer jersey, black pants and red sneakers. At 3:38 p.m. the Infiniti was captured on surveillance at the Janki-Mart on State Road but Tyreek was not visible in the vehicle.

In the early hours of February 22 the car was found burned and abandoned on Cainhoy Road near Bamberg Circle in Charleston; Tyreek was not at the scene. His mother reported him missing on February 23 after learning what had happened to the car. In November 2023 an arrest was made: Brandon Romaine Smith was charged with murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. Court documents include a witness account that places Pettigrew and Smith together, reports hearing gunshots as the vehicle stopped, then hearing more shots and seeing Smith leave in Pettigrew’s car. Tyreek’s remains have not been located.

Does anyone who knew Tyreek or was in the Moncks Corner area on February 21–22, 2018, have information that could help the investigation?
