Dorchester Co. deputies arrest 3 in Summerville-area shooting

DORCHESTER COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) - Three people, including an underage teen, have been arrested in connection with a shooting earlier this month at a Summerville-area apartment complex.

Zamauri Tyren Vashaun Brown, 19; Khamari Lavon Sease, 17 and a 16-year-old have been charged with attempted murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime and discharging a firearm into a vehicle, Chief Deputy Sam Richardson said. Brown is also charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Sease is being charged as an adult, Richardson said. A mugshot of Sease was not immediately available from the Dorchester County jail website.

The 16-year-old’s name was not released because of his age.

The charges stem from a shooting on May 2 at the Cambridge Apartments in the 500 block of Orangeburg Road that left a 20-year-old St. Stephen man wounded.

Investigators say the shooting happened when one of the suspects was speaking with the victim, who was driving through the parking lot in his vehicle. After stopping to speak with one of the suspects Giles was wounded multiple times.

Deputies from Dorchester County arrived on scene and began life-saving measures including administering CPR to the victim.

Investigators received multiple calls about the shooting and information from witnesses “played a large role in assisting the detectives during their investigation,” Richardson said.

Giles is continuing to recover from his injuries, Richardson said.
