Jamere Leonard Milligan, 16, was shot and killed in North Charleston on the evening of November 10, 2024. He was found on Chestnut Street about 6 p.m., taken to the Medical University of South Carolina, and died roughly thirty minutes after arrival. Milligan was a student at North Charleston High School and was remembered by his athletic director and head football coach as a rising star athletically and academically.

The North Charleston Police Department opened an immediate investigation and identified suspects quickly. A male juvenile was arrested on November 11 and a second male juvenile was arrested on November 13. Both face charges that include murder, armed robbery, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime; their names have not been released because they are minors.

The community mourned Milligan’s death and a celebration of his life was held November 23, 2024, at Destiny Worship Center in North Charleston. If anyone knew Jamere or has information about the shooting, please come forward to assist the investigation.
