Robert Blanding, 25, of St. Helena Island was found shot to death in a drainage ditch off F&B Road on Lady’s Island on November 22, 2017. His body had multiple gunshot wounds. He had last been seen the night before leaving a residence with his 19-year-old nephew, Chaz Blanding; Chaz was later reported missing and was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds in a wooded area off Simmons Road on St. Helena Island on December 2, 2017.

Investigators arrested several young people in the wake of the killings. Initial arrests included 16-year-old Raheem Bennett, 18-year-old Channon Preston Jr., and 19-year-old Nashon Pringle. Symone Jones, 20, turned herself in and was accused of driving Robert to the location where he was shot. A fifth suspect, 19-year-old Gerard Kenard Daise, was charged later. Court actions that followed included pleas and sentences for some defendants and dismissal or dropping of charges in other instances.

Does anyone have information about Robert or Chaz’s movements on November 21 or about the people who were with them that night?
