Sonreah Ellen Sonny McCallum, a 27-year-old Black woman from Raeford, North Carolina, was shot in the chest late on June 10, 2023, at a residence on Coquina Avenue in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. Deputies were called shortly before midnight for an alleged accidental shooting; she was transported to Grand Strand Medical Center and pronounced dead shortly after arrival on June 11, 2023. An autopsy was performed at the Medical University of South Carolina and the Georgetown County coroner, Chase Ridgeway, left the manner of death undetermined pending further investigation.

The initial sheriff’s office report provided few details about what led to the fatal shot or whether anyone else was present. As of late 2024, no arrests or suspects have been publicly announced. Sonreah, known as Sonny, is remembered as the mother of two, Sincere Buie and Sakhani McCallum; her family held a celebration of life on June 20, 2023. If anyone has information about the circumstances of that night, please come forward to assist the ongoing investigation.
