Emergency services arrived shortly before midnight and she was taken to a nearby hospital, where she died just before 1 a.m. on Friday, March 29, 2024. She was a mother of two, Ethan and Zowee.
Investigators identified 51-year-old LaQuincy Pollard, the father of Johnson’s children, as the suspect. After the shooting he fled, leading law enforcement on a high-speed chase across Kershaw County that reached speeds over 120 mph; Pollard stopped at a gas station and surrendered. He was charged with murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and failure to stop for blue lights. The Kershaw County Sheriff said the children lost both parents that night.
Johnson was born March 15, 1990, in Wilmington, Delaware, moved to Camden in 1993, graduated from Camden High School, and held a massage therapy certification from Southeastern College. She worked in home health and was described as caring and devoted to her children. If anyone knew Daysha or has information about the case, please share what you know.
