Kevin Lamar Pruitt, 34, known by some as Big Ham, was shot and killed in Charleston, South Carolina in the early hours of a late March morning in 2020. The shooting followed an argument between Pruitt and another man. That man left the scene, returned shortly afterward on a bicycle armed with a gun, and shot Pruitt in the face. Pruitt attempted to flee but collapsed and died at the scene.

A man later identified as 60-year-old Frederick Lamont Jenkins rode his bicycle toward the crime scene while officers were securing it, crossed the police tape and began shouting that he had killed Pruitt, claiming Pruitt had pulled a gun on him multiple times. Jenkins was taken into custody by the Charleston Police Department and charged with murder; the charge was filed in Charleston County on March 31, 2020.
