On the night of June 3, 2016, gunfire near the intersection of Shults Road and Goethe Road in Bluffton, South Carolina, left 21-year-old Roy Leon Hamilton dead and another man seriously injured. Hamilton, born August 30, 1994, was known locally for writing lyrics and rapping. Deonte Stevenson was wounded in the same incident and was airlifted to a nearby hospital.
Bluffton police quickly identified a suspect, 29-year-old Thomas Bush, who was arrested and charged with murder and attempted murder. A second person, 35-year-old Ricky Blake, was later charged with being an accessory to murder after the fact. Court records show the murder and attempted murder charges against Bush were dropped and the case did not proceed to trial on those counts.
Does anyone have additional information about the investigation or knew Roy Leon Hamilton?
