LAKE WATEREE — Two men were stuck by a vehicle Sunday, June 15, 2025, at approximately 11:34 p.m.at the Molly Creek boat landing.. Deputies with the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call at the Molly Creek Boat Landing regarding two individuals who had been struck by a vehicle.
When the Fairfield County Sheriff’s office responded to a call about the incident, deputies located two critically injured males lying in the parking area and two other males standing at the scene. Based on preliminary interviews, it was determined that the two victims had been intentionally struck by a vehicle in a fit of rage. Due to the nature of the incident, investigators were immediately summoned.
Both victims were transported to MUSC Fairfield. One of the victims was later transferred to an area hospital for further treatment and remains in critical condition. The second victim, identified by the Fairfield County Coroner Chris Hill as Kelvorius Epperson, 28, of Sumter, SC, died from his injuries at MUSC Fairfield Emergency Department.
Through the course of the investigation, it was revealed that the suspect, identified as Rosmann Justilien, 32, of East Calhoun Street in Sumter, SC, was involved in a verbal altercation with the victims that escalated into a physical confrontation. Following the altercation, Justilien entered a Cadillac Escalade and drove toward the victims at an unknown speed, striking and dragging them a distance before coming to a stop, according to deputies. He then circled the parking lot and returned to the area where the victims lay, ultimately crashing into a parking stop, bringing the vehicle to a final stop.
