On March 20, 2015, 35-year-old Trejan (also spelled Trajan in some reports) Jenkins, a Black man from Orangeburg, South Carolina, was shot and killed at his apartment on Shadowlawn Drive. Neighbors reported hearing raised voices and a brief argument shortly before a single gunshot; deputies found Jenkins with a fatal gunshot wound to the upper body and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Family members, including his mother Vernette, publicly pressed for answers as the case remained unsolved for more than a year.

In June 2016 Orangeburg County Sheriff Leroy Ravenell announced a warrant for 18-year-old Curtis Green charging him with Jenkins’s murder. Authorities said witnesses believed the argument concerned the theft of a vehicle from the apartment complex and that the dispute escalated to gunfire. Does anyone have information about Jenkins, the apartment complex, or the events that night?
