CROSS, S.C.–Orangeburg County Sheriff Leroy Ravenell has released surveillance images of a suspect wanted in the fatal shooting on Bim Street in Holly Hill on Thursday, January 9.

“Our investigation was able to produce surveillance images of the person who fatally shot a 32-year-old man from Cross. A 32-year-old Holly Hill man and a 29-year-old Moncks Corner man were also shot during the incident. Both are recovering from non-life threatening injuries,” Ravenell explained.

The coroner has identified the shooting victim as Lenward Jamerson, 32, of Cross. According to the victim’s Facebook page, Jamerson graduated from Berkeley High in 1999 and at one point was in the U.S. Army.

“Our investigation continues and we are still learning about the incidents that took place leading up to the shooting on Bim Street,” continued Ravenell. “I would like to commend the responding officers and the Investigators for their work over the past five days.”

So far a motive for the shooting has not been identified or released to the public.

Jamerson’s funeral was held Tuesday at Ebenezer Zion AME Church in Holly Hill. He was laid to rest at the Eutawville Community Funeral Home Cemetery.
