Daeshawn Shahree Brown was 25 when he was found shot to death in the breezeway of a Summit Pointe apartments building in Spartanburg, South Carolina, on the evening of February 18, 2018. Deputies from the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office discovered he had suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the chest.

Investigators tied the killing to a domestic-related dispute. Evidence and witness accounts led authorities to identify Jonathan E.

Gentry was arrested and charged with murder and with possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and was booked into the Spartanburg County Detention Center.
