FAIRFIELD COUNTY – Four men were arrested on Jan. 16, following a shootout at the Pilot Gas Station on Highway 200 in Winnsboro.
Dylan Malik Glover, 23, and Isiah Demarion Greene, 22, both of Columbia; and Johnquavvious Bowser, 24, and Christian Black, 24, both of Great Falls, were each charged with two counts of Malicious Injury to Personal Property (greater than $2,000), one count of Discharging a Firearm into an Occupied Vehicle, and one count of Breach of Peace (Aggravated Nature). In addition, Greene and Glover were each charged with Conspiracy, and Greene was also charged with Possession with Intent to Distribute Marijuana.
The incident unfolded at approximately 2:15 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 16, when Fairfield County deputies were called to the station where it was reported that three black males were observed shooting at one another.
Upon arrival, investigators met with witnesses and obtained statements, as well as surveillance footage depicting one of the suspect vehicles. A review of the footage revealed a dark-colored Toyota Camry as a suspect vehicle. This information was immediately relayed to responding units and surrounding agencies.
While investigators were still on scene, a suspect was located in the immediate vicinity of the incident. A short time later, the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office was notified that deputies with the Richland County Sheriff’s Department had located the suspect vehicle and detained two individuals matching the suspect descriptions. Richland County deputies advised that a handgun was observed in plain view inside the vehicle.
During the investigation, it was determined that the incident occurred during the sale and purchase of items. This transaction led to a confrontation between two groups, which escalated into a shooting incident.
All four suspects are currently being held at the Fairfield County Detention Center. This case remains under investigation, and additional charges may be forthcoming.
Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Investigator Robert Byrd at 803-815-4120 or the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office at 803-635-4141.
Thank you to the Richland County Sheriff’s Department for assisting in this case.
