Donnetta Heyward, 27, was shot and killed after a violent home invasion on Johns Island on the morning of January 11, 2014. Deputies were called about 2:40 a.m. after masked, armed intruders forced their way in through the back door of a Greenland Road home. The men demanded Where is the money? and assaulted Heyward and her brother, Wadel Heyward. Wadel later said he was struck in the head with the butt of a gun and, despite his injuries, managed to call 911. He heard two or three gunshots and then his sister returned inside saying she had been shot. Donnetta Heyward was taken to the Medical University Hospital and later died; the coroner identified a gunshot wound as the cause of death.

Investigators reported a late-model green Honda leaving the area after the shooting. Within a week deputies arrested Carlton Solomon, 19, and charged him with murder, kidnapping, first-degree burglary, and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime; police said two other men were being sought. Later reports described a shotgun blast to Heyward’s pelvis and noted that charges against another man were dropped after DNA did not link him to the crime. Does anyone who lived on or near Greenland Road that night remember the green Honda or saw suspicious activity?
