Jarrod Brent Howard was 19 when he was shot and killed on a Friday afternoon in October 2014 in Charleston, South Carolina. A recent Hanahan High School graduate remembered for his smile, his love of music and the Carolina Gamecocks, Howard was shot in the back seat of a parked car near Percy and Bogard streets during what investigators say began as a drug transaction that escalated into violence.

Charleston Police arrested two men within a day: Ahshaad Mykiel Owens and Phillip Daniel Jewell II. Owens went to trial; his defense said the shooting was an accident during a struggle over a gun, but a jury convicted him of murder, armed robbery and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. Appeals to the South Carolina Court of Appeals and the state Supreme Court did not overturn those convictions. The case file does not provide a public outcome for Phillip Jewell II.

Did anyone who knew Jarrod or who was in that Charleston neighborhood in October 2014 see or hear anything that might shed light on the moments before the shooting?
