Antonio Tisdale, 22, was fatally shot near the corner of Farr and Main streets in Andrews, South Carolina, on August 13, 2008. He was shot in the chest and was pronounced dead about an hour after being taken to Georgetown Memorial Hospital; an autopsy confirmed a single gunshot wound to the chest as the cause of death. Another man, Al Ingram, was wounded in the same incident and survived.

Investigators identified Dominic Leggette as the primary suspect; eyewitnesses at the scene named him as the shooter, and authorities linked the shooting to a long-standing feud between two neighborhoods and to Leggette’s alleged gang affiliations. A warrant was issued and Leggette was charged with murder and with assault and battery with intent to kill for Ingram’s injuries. At trial in March–April 2010, the prosecution described the shooting as a deliberate act tied to an assertion of power, while the defense said Leggette acted in self-defense after being harassed and pursued.

After more than 12 hours of deliberation, a Georgetown County jury acquitted Leggette of murder but convicted him of voluntary manslaughter for Tisdale’s death and of assault and battery with intent to kill for Ingram’s shooting; a circuit judge sentenced him to 30 years for manslaughter and a concurrent 10 years for the assault conviction. Does anyone have information about tensions between the neighborhoods or witnessed the events that night?
