In the early hours after a May 11, 2019 911 call, officers in Columbia, South Carolina, found 26-year-old Jahquan Peterson and 23-year-old Mary Carmichael fatally shot inside an apartment on Skyland Drive. Investigators determined two men wearing ski masks had ambushed Peterson as he returned home, pistol-whipped him and forced him into the residence. Cash was scattered around the apartment and leading away, suggesting an armed robbery motive and a violent struggle.

Mary Carmichael, who was upstairs, fired down at the intruders and struck one; the assailants returned fire and killed her before fleeing. Eighteen-year-old Genari Gresean McNeil later arrived at a hospital with gunshot wounds; his blood was found at the scene. He was arrested, charged with two counts of murder, armed robbery, first-degree burglary and possession of a weapon, and in March 2023 was found guilty and given two consecutive life terms plus 30 years for the other offenses. The second shooter has not been publicly identified or apprehended.

Does anyone have information about the unidentified accomplice or that night on Skyland Drive?
