A workplace dispute at a North Myrtle Beach restaurant ended in a deadly shooting that claimed the life of 26-year-old Quentin Johnson. The incident took place at Nacho Hippo on the evening of July 28, 2022, after an altercation between Johnson and a coworker, Lafredia Todd. Todd left her shift, retrieved a firearm and shot Johnson. He was taken to Grand Strand Medical Center and died of his wounds on July 31, 2022. Johnson lived in Loris and was a father of two.

Todd called 911 afterward and was located behind a nearby Cracker Barrel; she was arrested by the North Myrtle Beach Police Department. Defense attorneys later said Todd acted in self-defense, alleging Johnson had repeatedly threatened her; the prosecution portrayed Todd as the aggressor. A jury convicted Todd of murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime, and she received concurrent prison terms. Johnson’s girlfriend has since filed a negligence lawsuit against Nacho Hippo’s parent company.

If anyone witnessed events at Nacho Hippo or the area behind the Cracker Barrel that night, what did you see or hear that could clarify what happened?
