Tyshawn Poppie Shaw, 21, was shot and killed on the night of April 27, 2025, in Yemassee, South Carolina. He was found inside his vehicle near the intersection of Ishmel Road and Simmons Street with fatal gunshot wounds; the Hampton County coroner pronounced him dead at the scene. A juvenile was also wounded in the same shooting and taken to a medical facility.

The Hampton County Sheriff’s Office led the investigation with assistance from the Yemassee Police Department and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division. Authorities initially asked the public for help; investigators later arrested two people in connection with the shooting, but no further details about their identities, motives, or charges have been released.

Known as Ty to family and friends, Shaw was a father, son, brother, grandson and a 2021 graduate of Wade Hampton High School who worked for Meter of America in Walterboro. Does anyone with information about that night or Tyshawn’s movements near Ishmel Road and Simmons Street have tips to share with investigators?
