North Charleston was rocked on the night of January 12, 2025, when 18-year-old Timothy Haynes was found in the driveway of a Wales Court residence with multiple gunshot wounds. His mother attempted CPR at the scene; Haynes was pronounced dead at about 11:54 p.m. The city classified this as its first homicide of 2025.

Investigators say the case quickly produced arrests. On January 13, 20-year-old Camryn Ferrell Brown was charged with murder. On January 16, brothers 21-year-old Frank Simmons and 20-year-old Christopher Simmons were arrested by U.S. Marshals and charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. All three were held at the Al Cannon Detention Center.

Reports tie the shooting to a drug deal that turned violent. According to witnesses and surveillance, Haynes received a message to meet someone outside shortly before the shooting; Christopher Simmons allegedly held Haynes in a chokehold while Frank Simmons brandished a firearm. Two people then fled in a black sedan that was later found after striking a pole.
