Shelton Oneil Phyall, 67, was shot and killed in the early afternoon of October 3, 2024, at the Plantation Apartments in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. Police were dispatched for reports of gunfire around 12:20 PM and found Phyall near the complex playground with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene and later identified by the Berkeley County Coroner’s Office.

Investigators say the shooting followed a dispute that escalated into deadly violence. A 17-year-old, Jovial Price, was arrested and booked into the Hill Finklea Detention Center; authorities charged Price as an adult with one count of homicide and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime. Local officials condemned the killing and said the police and coroner are continuing their investigation.
