A dispute in the Racepath Community of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on the evening of May 8, 2015, ended with the death of 21-year-old Nigeria McDonald. A Black woman and a Myrtle Beach High School graduate known to family as NiNi, McDonald was involved in an altercation with another woman and a man identified as James A. Wilson. During the fight Wilson, then 22, produced a handgun and shot McDonald under her left arm.

Officers arriving about 7:30 p.m. found a witness attempting to staunch the wound. McDonald was taken to Grand Strand Medical Center, where she died. Investigators recovered a single .40 caliber shell casing and other evidence of a struggle. Wilson fled but was taken into custody the following afternoon and charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. In June 2016 a jury found James Abdullah Wilson guilty of voluntary manslaughter and the weapons count; the judge imposed a 27-year term for manslaughter and five years for the weapon charge to run concurrently.

If anyone in Myrtle Beach knew Nigeria or saw the events that night, any additional information could still be important.
