Charles Raymond Barnes Jr., 40, was fatally shot just after midnight on November 5, 2020, on Charleston’s West Side. Police found him partially in the street at Grant and Russell streets with a fatal gunshot wound to the back of the head. Investigators say he had been walking west on Grant Street when someone approached from behind, fired a single shot, and fled south on Russell Street.

Eyewitnesses described the suspect as wearing a black hoodie, jeans, and black tennis shoes. The Charleston Police Department opened a homicide investigation and asked the public for help identifying the shooter. No arrests have been announced and the suspect remains at large.

Does anyone have information about that night or the area around Grant and Russell streets?
