Lancetausha Pouncy, 28, was killed in an early-morning shooting at The Spot nightclub on U.S. 15-401 in Bennettsville, South Carolina. The shooting occurred around 2:35 a.m. on Sunday, July 24, 2022; Pouncy and three other people were struck by gunfire. Private vehicles took the victims to nearby hospitals, and Pouncy later died; the other victims remained in serious condition.
The Marlboro County Sheriff’s Office called in the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division to process the scene and investigators made multiple arrests in the days and weeks afterward. Six Bennettsville men were taken into custody: Ra-Kem Dal-Von Townsend, 28; Cody Wayne Erwin, 21; Atais Ja Ni Taylor, 25; D Shiem Tymaude Mcclean, 25; Omarion Fair, 20; and Javonte Barris Rolling C., 27. Initial charges included attempted murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime; some faced additional counts such as unlawful carry, possession with intent to distribute marijuana, and discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle.
After SLED provided an analysis report, Cody Wayne Erwin, also known as Loaf, was charged with the murder of Lancetausha Pouncy. A family member became disorderly at a court hearing and was subdued with a stun gun and arrested after a brief struggle. Does anyone have information about Pouncy, her last night at the club, or the events leading up to the shooting?
