Javion Ford was 20 when he was killed in a shooting in Ladson, South Carolina, in mid‑August 2019. An obituary lists his date of death as August 19, 2019, while other records place the fatal shooting on August 15, 2019. The Charleston County Sheriff’s Office investigated the incident.

Deputies identified and arrested Deontre J. Tolbert in connection with the shooting. Tolbert was charged with murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime and was booked into the Charleston County jail as the legal process began.

Does anyone from Ladson or the Charleston County area have information about where Javion spent time in August 2019 or saw him around those dates?
