Joshua Tyrone Daise, 33, was found shot twice and dead near the Masonic Lodge on Chowan Creek Bluff Road in Beaufort’s Lady’s Island on September 20, 2017. A passerby discovered his body and the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office responded; the coroner scheduled an autopsy at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. Known as Josh, he lived on St. Helena Island, graduated from Beaufort High School and served in the United States Marine Corps. Family remembered his smile and musical talents and said he left behind three daughters.

Investigators released details about a gold 2006 Chrysler 300, South Carolina plate NJV890, which Daise had been seen in; the car did not belong to him and was later found abandoned on St. Helena Island. Despite these leads, no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced and the case has grown cold. If anyone has information that could help resolve this homicide, please share it with investigators.
