Jhontariouse L. Brisbon, a 22-year-old man from Columbia, South Carolina, was fatally shot just before 8:30 p.m. on June 25, 2021 in the 100 block of Cardamon Court. A ShotSpotter alert brought Columbia Police Department officers to the scene, where they found Brisbon outside a residence with visible injuries. Bystanders and officers began life-saving aid before EMS transported him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Richland County Coroner attributed his death to a gunshot wound.

Another male was injured in the same incident; his wounds were not considered life-threatening and he was taken to hospital by a relative. Police, working with the Fifth Circuit Solicitor’s Office, described the shooting as an isolated incident among a small group of male acquaintances and said they did not believe there was an ongoing threat to the public. No arrests or suspect names have been publicly announced and investigators have not released what led to the altercation. If anyone knew Jhontariouse Brisbon or has information about that evening, please come forward.
