On the night of July 25, 2026, 17-year-old Antonio Stevens Jr. was fatally shot at a house party in North Charleston, South Carolina. The gathering took place at a short-term rental on High Cotton Court near Charleston Southern University and had drawn a noise complaint before multiple reports of gunfire brought officers to the scene. Antonio was found inside the residence with at least one gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Three other partygoers — a 20-year-old man and two 19-year-old women — also suffered gunshot wounds; the extent of their injuries was not immediately disclosed. Antonio, known as Tudy, was remembered by friends and family for his kind spirit and loving heart, and his mother Michelle Stevens set up a GoFundMe to help with funeral expenses.

As of late July 2026 the North Charleston Police Department was investigating and no arrests had been announced; authorities had not publicly identified suspects or a motive. If anyone attended that party or has information about the shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
