Keonna Lashae Brown, 20, was killed by a gunshot in Ladson, South Carolina, late on May 26, 2024. Deputies from the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office responded around midnight to a large party on Tremont Avenue where roughly 100 people had been attending; Keonna was found with a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Keonna, a Black/African American woman from Hollywood, South Carolina, was remembered by family as fun, smart, and kindhearted. Her mother, Tiffany Gregory, and other loved ones have publicly sought justice and answers. A celebration of her life was held on June 4, 2024, at Grace Cathedral in Hollywood, with burial at St. Luke African Methodist Episcopal Church Cemetery.

The Charleston County Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation and urged party attendees to come forward with information to help identify who fired the fatal shot. Does anyone who attended that Tremont Avenue gathering or who was in Ladson that night have information that could help the investigation?
