Stephon Chaplin, 20, was fatally shot in the breezeway of an apartment building at Spanish Trace Apartments in Beaufort, South Carolina, on the evening of September 8, 2018. Emergency crews took him to Beaufort Memorial Hospital, where he died shortly after arrival. Chaplin was described as having a joyful and caring nature.

Beaufort police identified 24-year-old Jibri McNair of Port Royal as a suspect after multiple witnesses said he fled the scene. A murder warrant was issued and McNair surrendered to the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office less than a week later; he was charged with murder and held at the Beaufort County Detention Center pending a bond hearing. In July 2019 a related shooting led to attempted murder charges for two of Chaplin’s friends, Malcolm Xavier Driessen and Daquan Jamez White, after they allegedly targeted a man connected to McNair, indicating ongoing tensions following Chaplin’s death.

Does anyone have information that could shed light on what happened next or knew Stephon?
