Darrius Ellison was an 18-year-old student in Marion County Public Schools who was fatally shot on Middleton Street in Marion, South Carolina, on April 10, 2020. Described as someone who loved his family, sports and sharing corny jokes, he enjoyed football, wrestling and dancing; his death deeply affected family and the local community and prompted an immediate investigation by the Marion Police Department.

In the days after the shooting, law enforcement identified a suspect, Derrick Buxton, who was described as armed and dangerous and was the subject of a multi-agency search. In early June 2020 Buxton was located and apprehended in Columbus, Ohio, by the Franklin County SWAT team, the Franklin County Drug Task Force, the Department of Homeland Security and the Marion Police Department; he was awaiting an extradition hearing to return him to South Carolina.

If anyone knew Darrius, his routines, or has information about what happened on Middleton Street that night, please share what you know with investigators.
