Brandon Samuel Brown was 23 when he was shot in the early morning hours of July 8, 2015, after a night out at Faces Lounge Bar & Grill on Decker Boulevard in Columbia, South Carolina. Deputies from the Richland County Sheriff’s Department responded to shots fired around 5:30 a.m. and found Brown with a gunshot wound to the lower body. He was taken to Palmetto Health Richland Hospital and pronounced dead at 6:21 a.m. The Richland County Coroner’s Office later listed the cause as a gunshot wound to the upper body.

Investigators received tips through CrimeStoppers that led deputies to identify and locate 25-year-old William Jackson. On July 10, 2015, Jackson was taken into custody at the Willow Run Apartments on Alcott Drive in Columbia and was charged with Brown’s murder. He was booked at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center.

If anyone was at Faces Lounge that morning or has information about what happened around Decker Boulevard on July 8, 2015, please come forward.
