On the evening of January 6, 2024, 31-year-old Jamar Rock Tyler was shot on Majesty Street in Neeses, South Carolina. Orangeburg County deputies responding shortly before 10 p.m. found Tyler beside a vehicle with gunshot wounds and a handgun on the ground. A deputy applied a tourniquet and EMS transported him, but he was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Initial witness statements at the chaotic scene were mixed, with some bystanders saying they had not seen anything while others told deputies the Singleton boys were responsible. That information, plus a photo lineup identification and written statements, led investigators to obtain arrest warrants. Brandon Oneal Youmans, 38, of Blackville, and Dwayne D. Singleton, 47, of Norway, were arrested and charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.

Tyler was remembered by his community; a fundraiser was held to help with burial expenses and to support his children. His funeral took place January 14, 2024, at Bushy Pond Baptist Church with interment at South End Cemetery in Bamberg. Does anyone have information about Tyler, the shooting, or the circumstances that evening?
