De’Travion RellQuan Brown was 19 when he was shot and killed on March 9, 2024, in the Donnely Community of Hemingway, South Carolina. A recent Hemingway High School graduate, he worked at a warehouse while pursuing trade certifications and a commercial driver’s license. Deputies found him inside a vehicle at 220 Poston Street after reports of a shooting; investigators say he had been outside the residence when he was struck and died at the scene.

The shooting was ruled a homicide. Investigators say the shooter fled before officers arrived; nearly three weeks later a 53-year-old Hemingway woman, Shirlease Williams Maynard, was arrested and charged with accessory after the fact for allegedly removing the gun and helping drive the suspect or suspects from the scene. Authorities have offered up to a $1,000 reward and continue to seek the person or people who fired the fatal shot.
