Christopher Mitchell, 32, was fatally shot while sitting outside an apartment with his two-year-old son and the child’s mother, Malayasia Garner, on the night of Saturday, July 9, 2022, at the Shady Moss Apartments in Conway, South Carolina. A black 2018 Jeep Cherokee drove into the complex, paused nearby, then pulled up directly in front of the family. An accomplice in the passenger seat rolled down the window and opened fire with a .223-caliber rifle, then fired a second volley after the vehicle repositioned. Evidence indicated at least sixteen rounds were fired; Mitchell was struck six times and later died at Conway Medical Center. Garner was shot in her right eye and lost vision in that eye; their son was unharmed.

Investigators identified the Jeep and the driver, Jaquan Frinks. He was arrested on July 20, 2022, and charged with Mitchell’s murder and the attempted murder of Garner. The accomplice who fired the rifle had not been apprehended and the case remained active as of January 2026. Does anyone who lived near Shady Moss Apartments in July 2022 have information about the Jeep, its movements, or the passenger who fired the shots?
