On the evening of August 4, 2016, 19-year-old Jontae Decosta was shot and killed near a downtown park in Charleston, South Carolina. The same incident left another person injured and prompted a citywide police response.

Charleston Police investigators appealed for witnesses, saying people near the park that night might have information. Less than a week after the shooting, law enforcement announced the arrest of a 15-year-old male who was charged in connection with Decosta’s death; the juvenile’s name was not released because of his age. Motive, specific charges, and the case’s eventual disposition have not been publicly detailed.

If anyone saw the shooting near the downtown park on August 4, 2016, or has information about what happened that evening, please share what is known.
