On the evening of November 6, 2025, a domestic argument at Huntington Place Apartments on Coachman Drive in Sumter, South Carolina, ended with the shooting death of 25-year-old Akinyele Rhakem Johnson, a Black man from Bishopville. Officers arrived about 6:45 p.m. after reports of a shooting and found Johnson with a gunshot wound. He received emergency aid at the scene, was taken to Prisma Health Tuomey Hospital, and later died there.

The apartment was the residence of 22-year-old Ealicia Samarae Davis. The couple’s toddler was reportedly in the home during the altercation but was unharmed and has been placed with family members. Davis remained at the scene, was taken into custody, and has been charged with voluntary manslaughter; she is being held at the Sumter County jail. An autopsy was scheduled at the Medical University of South Carolina to determine the precise cause of death, and the investigation is ongoing.

If anyone has information about the shooting or knew Akinyele, please share what you know.
