Willie Lee Duggans was 18 when he was shot and killed on October 10, 2017, on Redwood Street in the Chicora-Cherokee area of North Charleston. Officers found him collapsed on an apartment porch with a chest wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene and later identified by the Charleston County Coroner’s Office.

In February 2018 North Charleston police asked the public to identify a silver or light-gold Chrysler 200 with aftermarket wheels and a front vanity plate that was seen leaving the area shortly after the shooting, last observed turning onto Carner Avenue from Burton Lane and heading toward Charleston. That summer, authorities working with a U.S. Marshals task force moved in on Willis Ivey, described as wanted in connection with two homicides including the Redwood Street killing. Police say a pursuit ended in a crash with a North Charleston cruiser near Rivers Avenue and I-526; the driver fled and was captured in a wooded area while a passenger was taken into custody.

Reporting at the time said Ivey faced murder charges and several additional counts, and later reporting noted separate convictions for assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature and failure to stop for blue lights arising from the crash. Does anyone have information about the Chrysler 200 or about the events on Redwood Street that afternoon?
