A summer evening at Westchester Playground on James Island ended in tragedy when 19-year-old Jaquan Moore was shot and killed on August 18, 2016. The confrontation that night involved a group of people and escalated into gunfire; another person was wounded and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Charleston police identified a suspect quickly, and on August 20, 2016 an 18-year-old, Jerome T. Coaxum Jr., was taken into custody and charged with murder and attempted murder. He was held at the Charleston County jail as the case moved into the courts.

The shooting left the James Island community shaken; vigils were held for Moore and calls went up for an end to violence in public spaces. Does anyone have information about that August evening or remember what happened at Westchester Playground?
