On April 4, 2015, officers in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, responded to a call at about 2:30 a.m. reporting a shooting in the Snowden community. First responders found 38-year-old Tameka Mitchell, a Black woman, with fatal injuries; she was pronounced dead at the scene. Detectives processed the scene and began taking witness statements to identify who was responsible.

Early information from the Mount Pleasant Police Department described the suspect as an acquaintance of Mitchell rather than a random assailant. Investigators traced the case across state lines and, on April 6, 2015, tracked a 28-year-old man, Jimmy Coaxum, to Fayetteville, North Carolina. He was arrested there on a warrant for murder and held in the Cumberland County Detention Center pending extradition to Charleston County.

Are there witnesses or neighbors from the Snowden community who remember that night or saw Mitchell with someone earlier in the evening?
