Body that had been shot multiple times was found inside a vehicle, SC coroner says
A South Carolina man’s body was found inside of a vehicle Wednesday night, according to the Aiken County Coroner’s Office.
Tevin Jackson, a 25-year-old Aiken resident, was identified as the victim, Coroner Darryl Ables said Thursday in a news release.
At about 7:30 p.m., the coroner’s office was called to the Springside Apartments, according to the release. That’s on Springside Lane, less than a mile from the USC Aiken campus.
At about 7:25 p.m., Jackson was shot in the apartment complex’s parking lot, the coroner’s office said. Jackson was pronounced dead at 8:09 p.m. from multiple gunshot wounds, according to the release.
No other injuries were reported.
There was no word about a shooter or shooters, or anyone else involved in the gunfire. Information about a possible motive for the shooting was not available.
No arrests have been reported, but the shooting continues to be investigated by the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office and coroner’s office. An autopsy has been scheduled for Friday in Newberry, Ables said.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 888-CRIME-SC or submit an online tip.
