On September 26, 2023, 25-year-old Daeonte Kut Lang and 21-year-old Christopher Haynes were found shot to death outside a third-floor apartment at the Greenbrier Apartments on Willow Oak Drive in Columbia, South Carolina. Richland County deputies responded to reports of gunfire around 1:00 a.m.; both men were pronounced dead at the scene.

The initial investigation produced no immediate suspect or motive and investigators appealed to the public for information. A development came on November 8, 2023, when 21-year-old Christian Joquan Irick was arrested on the campus of South Carolina State University in Orangeburg and charged with two counts of murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. Irick was booked into the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center and was reportedly out on bond for unrelated charges at the time of the shooting.

Does anyone who lived near Greenbrier Apartments that night or who knows Lang or Haynes have information that could help clarify what happened?
