Jasmine Gantt was 21 when she was fatally shot in Columbia, South Carolina, on June 7, 2022. The shooting occurred after a dispute at a home on Spalding Avenue in the northern part of the city. She was taken to Prisma Health Richland hospital and later pronounced dead; the Richland County Coroner’s Office ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound.

Columbia Police investigated the case and worked with the 5th Circuit Solicitor’s Office. A male acquaintance who had argued with Gantt was taken into custody for questioning and later released.

Gantt’s family has since formed a nonprofit, Project Jasmine, focused on education, mentorship, and community outreach addressing domestic and gun violence in her memory.
