On January 20, 2020, 19-year-old Malik Gibbs was shot and killed on a rural gravel road in Pineville, South Carolina, along with two friends, Desmond Williams, 22, and Martice Green, 23. The four had spent hours together in a car when one occupant, JayQuan Tyheim Washington, opened fire. Williams and Green were killed inside the moving vehicle. Gibbs’ car veered into a field and he ran on foot; Washington pursued him and shot him three times, then returned Gibbs’ body to the car and left the scene.

Authorities found the disabled vehicle in the field later that day and discovered the three victims inside, all fatally shot. Police believe the motive was gang-related. Washington was arrested on January 24, 2020.

Did anyone in the Pineville area know these victims or see the car that day?
