Eighteen-year-old Davorius Mack Jr. of Myrtle Beach was fatally shot on March 2, 2025, while inside a vehicle at the intersection of Security Lane and Lucas Bay Road in the Bucksport area of Horry County, South Carolina. He was taken to Conway Medical Center and pronounced dead just before midnight; the Horry County Chief Deputy Coroner ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators arrested 17-year-old Kashien Charles Willis of Conway on March 4, 2025. Arrest warrants allege the shooting occurred during an attempted armed robbery: Willis allegedly tried to rob Mack with a handgun and shot him during the encounter. Witnesses at the scene provided accounts that led to the arrest. Willis was charged with murder, armed robbery, and possession of a deadly weapon during a violent crime and was booked into the J. Reuben Long Detention Center held without bail.

Mack’s family and friends remembered him as fun-loving, a basketball player who enjoyed computer technology, had built his own computer at a young age, graduated early from the Horry County Adult Education Program, and was enrolled at Horry-Georgetown Technical College with plans for a future and a family. Does anyone have information about that night or knew Davorius and can help clarify what happened?
