ORANGEBURG COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) — An 18-year-old Orangeburg man now faces murder charges after the victim of a drive-by shooting died from his injuries.

Sheriff Leroy Ravenell said Jaden Ferguson was originally charged with attempted murder in connection with a drive-by shooting at a home on Mingo Street last week.

Ferguson’s conspiracy charge remains.

Ravenell said Ferguson, along with four others, shot someone while they were riding by. The victim, 21-year-old Kyree Walker, has died.

“How many more will have to lose their lives in shootings that make no sense?” the sheriff said. “Makes no sense. None.”

Ferguson remains at the Orangeburg County jail.
