On the morning of June 20, 2024, 29-year-old Jasmine Elizabeth Anderson was found dead inside her North Charleston home in the Dorchester Manor subdivision. Dorchester County deputies had first responded just before 3 a.m. to reports of gunshots and discovered a man shot in the middle of a nearby road; his statements led investigators to Anderson’s residence. The Dorchester County Coroner’s Office confirmed Anderson died from a gunshot wound.

The day after her body was discovered, 29-year-old Geread Sonny Richardson, who lived with Anderson, was arrested and charged with murder and possession of a firearm during a violent crime. At arrest he was also charged with possession of less than one gram of methamphetamine; a judge denied bond and he remained in custody as the investigation continued.

Anderson was the mother of four children — Marion, Jhournee, Jada’Rose, and Litavais — and is survived by her parents, Sadeana and Larry Pinckney. If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Jasmine, please come forward to assist the investigation.
