On December 13, 2021, 28-year-old Erron Javier-Javan Johnson, a Black/African American man, was shot inside Player’s Place Billiards and Sports Bar on Ashley River Road in North Charleston. The shooting occurred around 2:09 a.m.; Johnson was taken to the Medical University of South Carolina and pronounced dead at 2:57 a.m. Two other people were struck by gunfire, one with minor injuries while trying to take cover.

Investigators identified and arrested a suspect, Quantas Mortee Green of Johns Island. He was injured by a police K9 while fleeing the scene and was later charged with one count of murder in connection with Johnson’s death. The circumstances that led to the shooting and questions about the bar’s security at the time have been part of the ongoing investigation.

Johnson is survived by his parents, children, siblings, and grandparents; funeral services were held December 22, 2021, at The Royal Baptist Family Life and Banquet Center in North Charleston. Does anyone with knowledge of that night or the venue have information that could help clarify what happened?
