On June 26, 2022, around 1:30 p.m., gunfire on Wadley Drive in Aiken, South Carolina, left three teenagers dead in the front yard of a home. Sixteen-year-old Ivan Perry, a male student at Aiken High School, was one of the victims; 17-year-old Willie L. Garrett IV was also killed at the scene, and 16-year-old Cameron Carroll was transported to Augusta University Medical Center where he later died. All three attended Aiken High School; Garrett and Carroll were cousins.

Witnesses said the three teens had been arguing with three other males who fled in a dark-colored Hyundai. The Aiken County Sheriff’s Office described the shooting as related to gang activity and quickly identified three suspects: 18-year-old Xabian Bailey, 20-year-old Alvin Artis IV, and a 15-year-old juvenile. Bailey was arrested late on the day of the shooting, and the 15-year-old turned himself in on June 30, 2022; Artis remained at large.

If anyone knew Ivan, where he spent time, or saw activity on Wadley Drive that afternoon, please come forward with information.
