Zaire Janyi Franklin, 25, was shot dead on the night of August 5, 2016, at about 10:10 p.m. at the St. Andrews Woods Apartment complex on Wood Court in Columbia, South Carolina. Deputies found him unresponsive with a gunshot wound to his upper torso; an autopsy ruled the wound fatal.

Investigators tied the killing to an argument that began a few days earlier outside a Stop & Go on Kay Street. Two underage teens had asked Franklin to buy cigars; he reportedly kept the change, under one dollar, and an argument followed. Authorities say 17-year-old Jermaine Dupri Davis and an accomplice followed Franklin from the convenience store to the apartment complex the night he was shot and linked Davis to a separate carjacking that occurred between the argument and the shooting.

Davis was tried in November 2016; the jury deadlocked and the judge declared a mistrial. He remained in custody on the carjacking charge after the mistrial. Does anyone have information about Franklin’s last movements that night or about the people involved in the earlier dispute?
