On the night of September 15, 2024, 17-year-old Arianna Mulligan was fatally shot outside the Magnolia Park Apartments in Burton, near Beaufort, South Carolina. She was in the complex parking lot around 10 p.m. when an altercation between two groups erupted in gunfire. Arianna, a student at Bridges Preparatory School who had just begun her senior year and was looking forward to prom, was one of three people struck; one of the other victims was her brother.

First responders took Arianna to Beaufort Memorial Hospital and she was later airlifted to the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. She went into cardiac arrest during the flight and was pronounced dead just after midnight on September 16, 2024. The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office described the shooting as involving multiple shooters and conducted an intensive investigation that led to several arrests in the weeks and months afterward.

Authorities arrested multiple suspects, including 18-year-old Rashod Lorenzo Williams of Grays Hill and 18-year-old Jeremiah Warren of Beaufort; 23-year-old Storm Lemont Zop Polite of Dale; and 17-year-old Derrick Jerrod McKee of Beaufort. Two juveniles were also charged; their identities and specific charges were not released.
