On the evening of March 26, 2020, in Columbia, South Carolina, 20-year-old Dayon Devales Geiger was found unresponsive in the driver’s seat of a vehicle with a gunshot wound after deputies responded to reports of a collision and shots fired on Elders Pond Road at about 9:45 p.m. Deputies discovered two crashed vehicles at the scene; Geiger was fatally wounded and later identified by the Richland County Coroner’s Office.

The Richland County Sheriff’s Department investigated and, within two weeks, arrested two 17-year-old males. One was taken into custody on April 3 and the other on April 6; both were arrested at their homes and held in the juvenile wing of the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center. Because they are minors, their names were not released. Each teen was charged with murder, armed robbery, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. The motive has not been made public.

If anyone has information about what led to the shooting on Elders Pond Road or knew Dayon, please share tips or contact investigators.
