Joseph Jacob ’Joey’ Leeman Jr. was 29 when he was killed on the night of June 3, 2017, in Walterboro, South Carolina. A man armed with a handgun emerged from the dark, pulled Leeman’s girlfriend from their vehicle and demanded drugs and money. Leeman drew a weapon and was shot and killed; the shooter fled with Martinez.

Investigators identified the shooter as Corey Niko Sanders and concluded the meeting had been a setup for a robbery. Sanders was arrested and charged in connection with Leeman’s death; Martinez was also charged. Two other men, Gary Dale Hickman and Harold Hatchell, were implicated as accessories before the fact. The gun used to kill Leeman was reportedly found under Hickman’s body.

Does anyone have information about Leeman, his regular customers, or the people named that could help clarify what happened that night?
