On October 14, 2024, at about 1:46 a.m., officers responded to a shooting outside the Caliente nightclub on Remount Road in North Charleston and found 39-year-old Francisco Larios-Aviles, a Hispanic man who lived in Florida, lying face down in the street. He had sustained a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene after life-saving efforts.

Investigators from the North Charleston Police Department and the Charleston County Coroner’s Office initially worked the case without a public suspect identification as detectives collected evidence and witness statements. On November 7, 2024, authorities located and arrested 29-year-old Adin Perez-Perez in Florida; he was extradited to South Carolina and booked into the Al Cannon Detention Center without bond and charged with murder, attempted murder, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime. Police say the probe into motive and the specifics of the altercation remains ongoing.

If anyone was at Caliente that night or has information about the events leading up to the shooting, please share what was seen or heard with investigators.
