JaQuan Shamar Julious, a 24-year-old Black man and father, was killed during a reported home invasion in Hemingway, South Carolina, on September 10, 2023. Multiple armed individuals forced their way into a residence on Chair Road, made demands of the occupants, and a firearm was discharged, fatally wounding Julious.

The Williamsburg County Sheriff’s Office arrested four people in connection with the shooting. Authorities say 25-year-olds Shane Sharod Singletary of Georgetown and Jakee Shyre Tavaris Green of Conway entered the home, confronted the occupants, and ultimately shot Julious; both were charged with murder, criminal conspiracy, first-degree burglary, five counts of armed robbery, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Also arrested were 21-year-old Ariyan Jahne Pickett of Myrtle Beach, charged as the alleged driver and an accessory, and 47-year-old Fredrick Donell Lewis of Nesmith, accused of escorting the shooters to the residence and charged as an accessory and in the conspiracy and robberies.

Family and friends remember Julious as a loving father; funeral services were held September 17, 2023, at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Andrews. Does anyone have information that could help clarify what happened that night?
