In August 2017, 31-year-old Latosha Nicole Lewis was found dead of a gunshot wound inside a Honda Accord parked at the intersection of Carolina Road and Church Road in Green Sea, South Carolina. Her young child was discovered alive in the car and their cries drew a nearby resident to the vehicle, prompting the Horry County Police Department to open a homicide investigation. K-9 teams and officers searched the area for evidence during the inquiry.

Family described Lewis as a vibrant mother of six who loved her children, and they expressed the depth of their loss. The investigation identified a suspect, 27-year-old Jakeem Jerome Bryant, who was arrested and charged with murder and with using a firearm during the commission of a violent crime; he was initially denied bond and later granted a $100,000 bond. Bryant was later found dead in Loris, South Carolina, and authorities confirmed he had been the victim of a homicide, leaving the prosecution of Lewis’s killing unresolved.

If anyone knew Latosha, her movements in Green Sea, or has information about the case, please share what can help the investigation.
