Jason Arion, a 35-year-old Caucasian man, was found dead in his Johns Island, South Carolina, home on January 22, 2016. Deputies responded after his mother could not reach him and discovered he had sustained a fatal gunshot wound and was deceased in his bed. The front door was unlocked and investigators reported no obvious signs of forced entry.

One of the last people known to have communicated with Arion was a neighbor who said he might drop by the night before, January 21, 2016. The investigation stalled for years despite follow-up on various leads, leaving the case cold and family members without answers.

In July 2024 an informant told investigators that neighbor David Mack had confessed and provided nonpublic details about the killing. Following that lead, authorities arrested Mack in October 2024 at Freshfields Village on Kiawah Island and charged him with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime; he was booked into the Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center to await a bond hearing. Are there readers who knew Jason or who remember anything from Johns Island in January 2016 that could help the investigation?
