A New Year’s Eve shooting at a busy Little River bar left two young men dead and two others wounded. On December 31, 2023, at about 11:12 p.m., gunfire erupted inside the Drinking Class Sports Bar and Grill in Waterway Plaza. Twenty-year-old James Myron Bellamy was taken to Sea Coast Hospital and pronounced dead shortly before midnight; 19-year-old Kron Fox died at the scene. Two other people sustained non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.

Following the shooting, the bar closed and civil litigation was filed. The mother of Kron Fox sued the bar, its former owners, and the plaza owners, and the mother of a wounded minor filed a separate suit. Both complaints allege management knew about possible gang activity and frequent police calls but failed to provide adequate security. No arrests have been reported; legal filings identify suspects only as John Doe 1 and John Doe 2, who reportedly fled the scene.

Did anyone see or hear anything at Drinking Class Sports Bar and Grill that night that could help investigators?
