Damien L. Hewiett, 22, was shot and killed in the early morning of October 18, 2015, in Hemingway, South Carolina, off State Highway 41 South. The shooting followed a dispute that began at Club Recess and occurred about 3:30 a.m.; officers found Hewiett had died of a gunshot wound when they arrived.

Known as Dae, Hewiett was a Johnsonville High School graduate working for the House of Raeford. Investigators with the Williamsburg County Sheriff’s Department identified 22-year-old Frankie J. Hampton Jr., of Hemingway, as the person who fired at Hewiett as he was leaving the area. Hampton was arrested and charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime and was held at the Williamsburg County Detention Center pending a bond hearing.

Anyone who witnessed the dispute at Club Recess or the events afterward, or who has information about the shooting, is asked to come forward.
