Shortly after 2:11 a.m. on July 29, 2025, deputies from the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of gunfire in a Jackson, South Carolina neighborhood and found 27-year-old Dequon Hill unresponsive in the driver’s seat of his vehicle in the driveway of his home on the 5000 block of North Silverton Street. Hill, a Black/African American male, had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene at 3:40 a.m. The Aiken County Coroner’s Office attributed his death to those gunshot wounds and an autopsy was scheduled to be performed in Newberry.

Investigators secured the area, canvassed the neighborhood for witnesses and evidence, and opened a full investigation. Authorities publicly asked anyone who may have seen or heard anything to come forward. No arrests have been announced and no suspects have been named as the inquiry continues.

If anyone saw activity on North Silverton Street that night or has information about Dequon Hill’s death, please share what is known with investigators.
