An 11-year-old boy, Zion Sharodrick Burgess, was fatally shot at a home on Glendale Road in Scranton, South Carolina, on April 24, 2022. Zion, a student at Dewey L. Carter, was struck by a single gunshot wound and later pronounced dead at an area hospital.

Fearing for his safety, Crandall went inside, armed himself, and then fired when Zion walked through the door, reportedly mistaking him for Graham. Both Crandall Burgess and Montarrio Graham were arrested after the shooting. Crandall was charged with voluntary manslaughter; his attorney sought to have the charge reduced to involuntary manslaughter, arguing the shooting was a tragic accident.

At a bond hearing attended by Zion’s mother and grandmother, a judge set Crandall Burgess’s bond at $10,000. Montarrio Graham received a $20,000 bond and was ordered to be on house arrest with electronic monitoring. What information can anyone with knowledge of the family or the events that day provide?
