On the night of August 25, 2013, a dispute outside the nightclub A Place in the Woods on Hamlin Corner Road in Huger, South Carolina, ended in gunfire that left 20-year-old Herman Manigault III of Wando mortally wounded. Manigault was found in the club’s parking lot and taken to a hospital in Mount Pleasant, where he died about an hour later.

Berkeley County deputies arrested 17-year-old Shaquille Mileak Jamal Washington of Huger a few days after the shooting and charged him with murder. Witnesses said an altercation occurred as the club was closing and that gunfire followed. Washington went to trial and a jury convicted him of voluntary manslaughter rather than murder.

The voluntary manslaughter verdict was later reviewed by the South Carolina Supreme Court, which found an error in the trial judge’s jury instructions and overturned the conviction, ordering a new trial on that charge.

If anyone was at A Place in the Woods that night or has information about the altercation in the parking lot, please share what you know.
