Isiah D. Miles, a 35-year-old Black man with ties to the Beech Island community, was found dead from a gunshot on Green Road in Aiken, South Carolina, on March 3, 2014. Green Road is described by neighbors as normally a quiet, peaceful area, which contributed to the community’s shock at the violent death.

The Aiken County Sheriff’s Office investigated the shooting. Neighbors and local organizations rallied around Miles’s family and remembered him as generous and warm. Authorities later identified Reginald Jerome Hamilton Jr. as a suspect; he was arrested, charged, convicted in connection with Miles’s death and sentenced to prison. Hamilton remained in the South Carolina Department of Corrections and had pursued post-conviction relief hearings as recently as 2023.

If anyone knew Isiah Miles or has information about what happened that night on Green Road, please come forward.
