An evening outing at a downtown Myrtle Beach restaurant ended in gunfire and the death of 18-year-old Grayson Meyers. The shooting occurred shortly after 11:15 p.m. on June 27, 2025, inside Peaches Corner on North Ocean Boulevard following a verbal dispute between Meyers and another teenager. Meyers was fatally shot; a bystander in a nearby crosswalk was also struck and suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Police identified 17-year-old Evony McCray, an employee at the restaurant, as the suspected shooter. McCray was taken into custody and has been charged with murder; authorities say he will be charged as an adult. Investigators are also looking into whether Meyers was armed during the confrontation.

Meyers, born November 26, 2006, was described in his obituary as warm and caring and close to his family and friends. Court records show prior contacts with law enforcement, including trespassing charges, a dismissed kidnapping charge, and a guilty plea last year to first-degree assault and battery. A fundraiser was set up to assist his mother with funeral expenses.

Did anyone witness the disturbance at Peaches Corner that night or know more about what led to the confrontation?
