A gathering on Detour Road in Seabrook, South Carolina, turned deadly on the night of December 4, 2021. Deputies with the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of shots fired around 11 p.m. and found two women wounded. Seventy-four-year-old Flora Mae Gantt of Walterboro was pronounced dead at the scene; 30-year-old Shaina Mulligan of Beaufort died while being transported to the hospital.

Investigators identified 22-year-old Dionte Mitchell of Seabrook as the suspect after witness statements said he was involved in the dispute and fled. Mitchell spoke to investigators and was not immediately taken into custody. On December 28, 2021, arrest warrants were issued charging him with two counts of murder and one count of possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. He was located and arrested in Queens, New York, on June 8, 2022, by the U.S. Marshals Service and was to be returned to Beaufort County to face the charges.

Does anyone have information about the party on Detour Road that night or recall seeing activity in Seabrook around December 4, 2021?
