John Floyd, a 36-year-old Black man, was fatally shot on January 6, 2015, while sitting in a car outside the Midway Minimart on Jones Avenue in Marion, South Carolina. He was struck by multiple bullets and taken to the Carolinas Hospital System of Marion, where he died of his injuries.
Law enforcement and the State Law Enforcement Division secured the convenience store crime scene; evidence markers showed multiple points of gunfire. Investigators identified a suspect within about six hours and arrested 24-year-old Jerell Reaves at his home without incident. The motive for the shooting was not made public.
In December 2016, Jerell Reaves pleaded guilty to murder and received a 15-year prison sentence for the fatal shooting of John Floyd. Does anyone have information about John Floyd or witnessed the events that night outside Midway Minimart?
