On the evening of May 19, 2021, Shaquan Terrell Cox, a 20-year-old Black man, was struck in a drive-by shooting near the intersection of Cox Road and Cannon Street in Loris, South Carolina. A sedan drove through the area and at least one person inside opened fire on a group; three people were wounded that night, and Cox’s injuries proved fatal. He died at a local hospital less than an hour after the shooting.

Investigators from the U.S. Marshals, Horry County police, and the State Law Enforcement Division later identified 26-year-old Stephon Antwain Johnson as the primary suspect. Johnson was arrested and charged with murder and possession of a deadly weapon during a violent crime, and was held at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center without bail pending proceedings. The motive and full circumstances behind the shooting remain under investigation.

Did anyone in the Loris area witness the sedan or the shooting that night or have information about what led up to the attack?
