On Tuesday afternoon, March 15, 1994, 18-year-old Michael Ryan Spann was shot and killed in the parking lot of Goose Creek High School in Charleston, South Carolina. Spann had been a spectator to a pre-arranged fight between two students when a verbal dispute involved a nonstudent, Randolph Johnson. Johnson produced a handgun and fired multiple shots into the crowd; Spann was struck and fatally wounded and two others were injured.

Randolph Johnson was arrested and charged with murder, two counts of assault and battery with intent to kill, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime. He was tried and convicted on those charges. The South Carolina Supreme Court later reviewed an appeal in which Johnson argued the trial judge should have instructed the jury on the lesser offense of voluntary manslaughter; the court upheld the convictions.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or knew Michael Spann, please share what is remembered or contact the authorities with any information.
