A verbal dispute at Green’s Grocery in Charleston, South Carolina, on September 28, 2020, ended in a fatal shooting. The victim, 41-year-old David Jordan Laron Wilson, argued with an 18-year-old convenience store clerk, Suhib Ahmed Aref Yousef, inside the store. Surveillance shows Yousef with a bat-like object that could create an electrical arc and a metal blade wrapped in tape; Wilson tried to leave after spitting at the clerk but was pursued outside.

Witnesses said Yousef fired a warning shot, then Wilson charged toward him and was struck by five additional shots, including a fatal wound to the head. Wilson was taken to the Medical University of South Carolina and later died of his injuries. Yousef was taken into custody; his initial charges of attempted murder and possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a violent crime were upgraded to murder after Wilson’s death. The case moved to a bond hearing where the confrontation’s details were presented.
