On February 14, 2024, Bluffton emergency crews responded to Fuller Court after multiple reports of gunfire and found two coworkers fatally shot. Thirty-four-year-old Roshaun Middleton of Beaufort was located with several gunshot wounds to his lower body and pronounced dead at the scene. A second victim, 33-year-old William Stewart of Hilton Head, was found behind a nearby residence with a fatal gunshot wound to the head and also died at the scene.

A Bluffton officer saw a gold sedan leaving the area and attempted a traffic stop; the driver, identified as 33-year-old Orlando Murphy of Bluffton, fled, struck a parked patrol car and another vehicle, and was apprehended near U.S. 278 and Buckwalter Parkway. Murphy was charged with two counts of murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and the South Carolina Highway Patrol charged him with leaving the scene of an accident. Authorities say Murphy and the two victims were coworkers, no other suspects are being sought, and there is no ongoing threat to the community.

The motive has not been released. If anyone knew Roshaun Middleton or has information about that afternoon on Fuller Court, please come forward to the Bluffton authorities.
