On March 23, 2024, 20-year-old Vantrell Hanna was fatally shot during a family fish fry at a home on Cow Head Road in the Hemingway area of Williamsburg County, South Carolina. Deputies found three people with gunshot wounds at the scene: one beyond saving and two others seriously injured. One surviving victim was transported by ambulance; another was taken to a hospital in a personal vehicle.

Investigators say the victims were outside when three young men—Javontae Pressley, Comaine Pressley, and Dominick Markell Graham—confronted them and that a struggle ensued. The person who died was shot multiple times; another victim was later found wounded in a shed. Authorities allege Autumn Spring Perkins helped the three suspects leave the scene, and a relative, Jeffery Comane Pressley, is accused of giving false information to deputies.

By early April 2024, arrests had been announced and the suspects were charged with murder and other offenses, but law enforcement said no clear motive had been identified for the shooting. If anyone attended that gathering or has information about what led to the confrontation, please share what you know with investigators.
