On November 26, 2023 hunters in the woods near Rembert, South Carolina found the body of 34-year-old Frederick Ricardo Nelson Jr., a Sumter resident. Nelson’s body was wrapped in bed sheets, a comforter and a red tarp. An autopsy later determined he had been shot about 12 times.

Investigators say 22-year-old Daejon Rashad Jackson, also of Sumter, allegedly shot Nelson on or about November 14, 2023, then moved the body to the wooded area to conceal the crime. After interviews, evidence recovery, telephone record analysis and autopsy results, Jackson was arrested and charged with murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime. A search of his residence turned up a substance that tested positive for fentanyl and prompted an additional trafficking fentanyl charge. Jackson was booked at the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office Detention Center; the 3rd Circuit Solicitor’s Office will prosecute the case.
