Derrick Jai Curry, a 20-year-old Black male, was last seen in Warrenville, South Carolina, on May 1, 2019, near the Minit Shop on Augusta Road around 2:00 p.m. He was described as having black hair, brown eyes, and a half-sleeve black ink tattoo on his forearm; his height and weight at disappearance are unknown.

Investigators quickly treated the case as suspicious. Within the same month four people were arrested in connection with his disappearance. Authorities came to believe Derrick was shot and killed inside a residence in Aiken, South Carolina. Testimony at trial reportedly stated that Denzell Deshawn Jackson shot Derrick and that Jackson and Sha Kel Rakeem Dixon placed his body into a storage container and moved it into a vehicle; Christian Barnwell and Altashuan Jalen Bacon were also charged in connection with the case.

Juries later returned guilty verdicts for Jackson and Dixon on murder, kidnapping, and weapon charges; Barnwell pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact and received an eight-year sentence. Derrick’s remains have not been located, leaving his family without physical closure.

If anyone has information about Derrick’s last known movements or the location of his remains, please come forward.
