A 27-year-old man was shot to death inside a home on Garwood Drive in the Woodside Manor neighborhood of Ladson, South Carolina, on the evening of November 23, 2022. Deputies from the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office found the victim with multiple gunshot wounds after 6 p.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene and later identified as Jermaine L. Bunch, Jr.

Detectives developed a lead during their investigation and arrested 18-year-old Mario Lavell Burgess on December 1, 2022. Burgess was charged with murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime after being interviewed by detectives. Investigators also noted an earlier incident that same calendar day, just after 1 a.m., when multiple gunshots were fired into another occupied residence on Garwood Drive; no one was injured in that earlier shooting, and authorities have been examining whether the two events are connected.

If anyone knew Jermaine Bunch or saw activity on Garwood Drive around November 23, 2022, please share what you know with investigators.
