Michael Britt, 34, was visiting Summerville, South Carolina from his home in California while looking for work. On the evening of October 26, 2022, he was seated on a bench outside the Hampton Inn on Holiday Drive with another man when a stranger approached after briefly entering the hotel lobby. Britt was pronounced dead at the scene; police described the shooting as a random act of violence.

Authorities identified 32-year-old Michael Terrell Profit as a suspect; a witness who noted the man’s gold teeth helped identify him. Profit was out on bond for previous offenses and had an arrest record dating back to 2011 and was arrested in connection with the shooting.
