Earlier Wednesday, Richland County Coroner Gary Watts identified the man fatally shot Tuesday as Dashawn F. Jones, 24, of Hopkins.
Jones died from multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body. He and another man were shot repeatedly Tuesday around 2:15 p.m. while they were in their vehicle on Prioleau Road. Wilson said that when deputies responded to the scene a few minutes later, Jones was already dead. The other man, whose identity has not been released, was airlifted to Palmetto Health Richland.
