Bria Byrd, 23, was killed in a shooting outside Club Amnesia in McColl, South Carolina, in the early hours of a Sunday in October 2021. The attack in the nightclub parking lot also killed 31-year-old Ronnie Oxendine and wounded three other people. Authorities say multiple shooters fired and then fled at high speed toward North Carolina.

Investigators concluded the incident was not random and believe the people involved knew one another and had traveled from North Carolina. A multi-agency investigation involving South and North Carolina law enforcement led to arrests days later in Rockingham, North Carolina. Five men — Kevin Robert Williams, 27; Marion Devonte Ellerbe, 24; Antuan Latice Zeigler, 21; Javontae Marquel Dockery, 22; and Khalil Jaquan Watkins, 19 — were charged with two counts of murder, three counts of attempted murder, criminal conspiracy and discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle. The suspects were due to be extradited to South Carolina to face those charges.
