Justin Steven Simons, 36, was fatally shot on the evening of Sunday, September 17, 2017, in the 200 block of Stirlington Road in Columbia, South Carolina, a short distance from his home. The Lexington County Sheriff’s Department reported he sustained multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body.

Authorities identified a suspect within hours and arrested 19-year-old Isaac Burton Hidalgo of Columbia at a friend’s house at about 1:00 a.m. the following morning. Hidalgo was charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime; the sheriff’s department said the shooting was not random and investigators believe a history of drug deals between Simons and Hidalgo provided a possible motive. Hidalgo was booked into the Lexington County Detention Center and scheduled for a bond hearing on the afternoon of Monday, September 18, 2017.
