On January 25, 2023, 19-year-old TyQuez Demetrius Walker was fatally shot in Georgetown, South Carolina, prompting a homicide investigation. Authorities named Jordan Gaskins as the suspected shooter; at the time of the incident Gaskins was out on bond in an unrelated double murder case. Another individual connected to Gaskins was also arrested in relation to Walker’s death.

Investigators say Gaskins’s grandmother, Danielle Gaskins, attempted to conceal the homicide inside her home and was arrested on charges tied to that alleged cover-up. The community reacted to both the loss of a young life and the involvement of multiple family members in the case.
