Jamacia Dowling, 20, was killed in a mass shooting at a crowded apartment party at Greene Crossing Apartments on Pulaski Street in Columbia, South Carolina, in the early hours of March 13, 2022. A student at the University of South Carolina, she was an innocent bystander caught in crossfire when an argument at the gathering escalated just before 2 a.m. Multiple people opened fire inside the apartment and in hallways; an officer found Dowling conscious but with multiple gunshot wounds and she later died at a local hospital. Four others, aged 16 to 22, were wounded with non-life-threatening injuries.

Investigators say several attendees were armed with handguns and assault-style weapons. Police arrested 23-year-old Kejuan Boyce on March 17, 2022, charging him with Dowling’s murder and possession of a firearm during a violent crime. In the following months, authorities also charged 24-year-old Dennis Williams with accessory after the fact and 23-year-old Trajan Mack with pointing and presenting a firearm in the incident.

Does anyone who attended that party or who knows more about what sparked the argument on Pulaski Street have information to share?
