A post-festival party in Yemassee, South Carolina, turned deadly late on the night of September 19, 2021. Around 12:15 a.m. near a convenience store where a large crowd had gathered after the annual Shrimp Festival, an argument escalated and multiple people opened fire. Thirty-three-year-old Yemassee resident Willie Roberts was struck and killed; seven others, ages 8 to 31, were wounded.

Authorities arrested 40-year-old Yogeskumar Rasikhabi Patel of Savannah, Georgia, in the days after the shooting and charged him with attempted murder and unlawful carrying of a firearm. Patel was denied bond and held in custody. Investigators with the Yemassee Police Department, the Hampton County Sheriff’s Office and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division described the probe as ongoing and said they expected additional arrests as the investigation continued.

Does anyone have information about the shooting or the people who were at the post-festival gathering that night?
