Steward Wilson, 34, of Hopkins, South Carolina, was killed in the early morning hours of January 3, 2015, after being struck by gunfire inside Tony’s Lounge on Congaree Road. The shooting erupted during a violent altercation that began over a prior dispute from New Year’s Day; Wilson was described as an innocent bystander who was not involved in the original conflict. He was shot in the upper body, taken to a local hospital, and died of his injuries.

The Richland County Sheriff’s Department investigated the killing. Within a day, two men — 20-year-old DeMichael Razor and 19-year-old Calvin Myers — were arrested, charged with murder, and during questioning admitted to firing at an intended acquaintance; their shots struck Wilson instead. Both were taken to the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center. The final disposition of the murder charges is not stated.
