Johnny Carson Douglas, 66, of Bishopville, South Carolina, was fatally shot in Lugoff on the evening of Wednesday, July 13, 2022. Deputies responded to a 911 call from 51-year-old Shane Garland Granger, who reported he had shot a man who was attacking him at Granger’s home on Longtown Road. Douglas was found with a gunshot wound to the chest, taken to a hospital, and pronounced dead.

Investigators later determined Douglas and Granger had been together earlier that evening and that Granger had driven Douglas back to Granger’s residence. The sheriff’s office reports Granger went inside, retrieved a firearm, came back outside, and shot Douglas in the chest. Deputies say the evidence did not support a stand your ground defense, and Granger was arrested and charged with murder.

If anyone was in the Lugoff area that night or knew either man, please share what you know with investigators.
