A violent shooting in Shiloh Heights left 21-year-old Reginald Young III dead on the evening of May 20, 2026. Deputies from the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call about a shooting at a Dallas Circle residence around 5:50 p.m. and found Young’s body in the yard; the Aiken County Coroner pronounced him dead at the scene. He had been shot at least once and an autopsy was scheduled in Newberry.

Investigators from the sheriff’s office and Aiken Public Safety processed the scene, brought in bloodhounds to track a possible fleeing suspect, and collected evidence, but the canines did not locate anyone and officials released little about a motive or persons of interest. The sheriff’s office has asked the public to come forward with any information that could help identify who was responsible.

If anyone in the Shiloh Heights area on Dallas Circle that evening saw anything or has information about Reginald Young III’s shooting, please contact the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office.
