Safiya Daniels, 27, was fatally shot in the late hours of Sunday, August 21, 2022, on Buckley Street in Orangeburg, South Carolina, near the South Carolina State University campus. She was taken to the Regional Medical Center in Orangeburg and died of her injuries. At least three other people were wounded; one was a university student reported in stable condition and another student was injured after falling amid the ensuing confusion.

The campus was placed on a temporary lockdown for about two hours from midnight until 2 a.m., with vehicle movement restricted and students told to stay in their residence halls. The Orangeburg Department of Public Safety opened an investigation, but early reports provided no information on a shooter or motive, and an autopsy for Daniels was scheduled for later that week. No arrests or suspects have been publicly announced.

If anyone witnessed the shooting on Buckley Street or has information that could help investigators, please share what is known.
