Anthony McNeil, a 23-year-old Black man, was fatally shot the night of April 2, 2019, at a residence on Dunbar Street in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. He and another person were shot and taken to Grand Strand Hospital; McNeil died at about 10:04 PM.

Myrtle Beach Police Department’s gang unit identified a suspect as 29-year-old Joerael Bratten of Myrtle Beach. Investigators say Bratten went to McNeil’s home intending to buy marijuana, the encounter escalated into a robbery, and Bratten shot McNeil four times before fleeing. Bratten was arrested three days later at a bus stop in Florence, South Carolina.

Two others pleaded guilty in connection with the case: Walter Cuttino pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact to murder, and Shamia Maness pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice.
