A dispute over a video game ended in the murder of 31-year-old Jesse Weathers on April 27, 2018, at a Rodeway Inn in North Charleston, South Carolina. Weathers was shot twice during an argument with 19-year-old Daniel Reed; a motel employee found Weathers’ body hours later in the room and called police. Reed fled the scene in Weathers’ car, leaving the motel room door ajar.

Police located the stolen vehicle the next day and attempted a traffic stop; Reed led officers on a chase, crashed, and tried to run with a juvenile passenger before both were caught after a manhunt. Reed confessed during questioning, saying he discarded the handgun in woods while fleeing; officers later recovered the firearm. The juvenile denied involvement, was charged with disturbing the peace, and released to his parents. Reed was booked on murder, possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime, grand larceny, and failure to stop for blue lights, held without bond.

Did anyone in the North Charleston area know Jesse or notice him at that motel in late April 2018?
