On the night of Wednesday, November 24, 2021, 42-year-old Adam Lee Jarrett was shot in the parking lot of a hotel on Ocean Boulevard in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. An argument between Jarrett and 23-year-old Ladarius Evans escalated when Evans produced a firearm and shot Jarrett multiple times. Jarrett returned fire and wounded Evans as well. Both men were taken to Grand Strand Medical Center; Jarrett later died of his injuries.

The Myrtle Beach Police Department investigated the shooting and identified Ladarius Evans as the primary aggressor. Within a week authorities announced they had charged Evans with murder in connection with Jarrett’s death. Few personal details about Jarrett appear in reports beyond his age and location of the shooting.
