Timothy Ray Haman Jr. was 41 when he was shot and killed on Hanover Street in Charleston, South Carolina, on August 8, 2019. A sous-chef who had recently moved from Colorado, Haman was helping his daughter move furniture when a verbal dispute with a young man escalated into a brief physical fight. As Haman attempted to walk away, he was shot multiple times in the back and later died at the Medical University of South Carolina.

Neighborhood surveillance cameras recorded the incident. Investigators say the footage showed the shooter’s distinctive clothing and movements before and after the shooting, and that led them to identify an 18-year-old suspect. The suspect was charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime; prosecutors relied on the video and witness testimony to show the altercation had ended before the shooter fired a .40 caliber handgun while Haman was retreating.

Anyone who witnessed the confrontation or who has additional information about the events on Hanover Street that evening is asked to come forward.
