A quiet street in Lamar, South Carolina, was shattered on the evening of November 13, 2017, when 18-year-old Quanzavious Tylik Ceasar was fatally shot. The Darlington County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation and, within a week, identified a suspect and obtained warrants charging Sincere Johnson, then 19 and from Hartsville, with murder and attempted murder, the latter charge reflecting that another person was also targeted.

Johnson was taken into custody on November 20, 2017, and booked at the W. Glenn Campbell Detention Center. Public reports note that investigators were still working to establish the specifics of the shooting, any motive, and whether Ceasar and Johnson had a relationship.

Anyone who knew Quanzavious Ceasar, saw activity in Lamar around November 13, 2017, or has information about the incident is asked to come forward.
