On June 8, 2026, 18-year-old Jayviere Cortez Anderson was shot and killed inside a residence on Mimosa Street in Denmark, South Carolina. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division reports the meeting had been arranged as a drug sale but turned into an attempted robbery at gunpoint. A hail of gunfire inside the home killed Anderson and one of the alleged robbers, Joshua Weatherspoon. A third person in the residence was shot in the back of the head while trying to flee and survived.

Investigators say Sacarias Jamel Dupree, 21, fled the scene wounded and was found at a nearby Dollar General with a gunshot wound to his leg. A recovered Glock .40 caliber handgun was consistent with shell casings at the scene, and the surviving victim’s description of clothing matched Dupree’s attire when located. Dupree was arrested on June 11, 2026, and booked on charges including murder, attempted murder, attempted armed robbery, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime; the case is with the 2nd Circuit Solicitor’s Office and remains under investigation.
