A late-night dispute outside Brewer’s Bar and Grill on East Wesmark Boulevard in Sumter, South Carolina, turned fatal on April 8, 2023. Rayquan Kentrell Dean, 26, of Pinewood, was found deceased at the scene after shots were fired; officers arrived about 11:30 p.m. Witnesses said an argument between Dean and another man became a physical altercation before the shooting. A vehicle was seen fleeing the parking lot shortly afterward and was stopped by police.

The driver, 31-year-old Antwaun A. June of Sumter, was taken into custody and identified by investigators as the shooter. June was arrested and charged with murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, unlawfully carrying a firearm, and failure to stop for blue lights; he was booked into the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office Detention Center.

An autopsy was scheduled and the investigation into the dispute and shooting was ongoing; authorities also sought revocation of Brewer’s alcohol license.
