Jamie Devon Johnson, 19, was found dead inside his vehicle on D Street in Conway, South Carolina, on a September evening in 2020. He died from a gunshot wound to the back of the head after being ambushed in what investigators described as a premeditated attack that followed an earlier altercation.

Authorities say a group of individuals tracked Johnson’s movements, knowing his routine and lying in wait near his neighborhood. The attackers used their vehicle to cut Johnson off and trap him before opening fire. Investigators identified Tronahz Jahmarius Whittington, then 17, as the person who distributed firearms to others and described him as the alleged trigger man; Whittington reportedly fled the area and was later taken into custody in Greenville.

Several other men were charged in connection with the ambush. Two more people were also facing charges. What details about the planning or motive have not been released to the public?
