LUGOFF, S.C. — The Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) reports a 19-year-old man is dead and another injured after an early morning shooting at a gas station near Lugoff, South Carolina.
Deputies responded to a call of "multiple shots fired" around 1 a.m. Tuesday, May 10, at the Kangaroo gas station on Highway 601 South near I-20. Arriving at the scene, deputies found one individual dead in the parking lot and a second gunshot victim located nearby. That person suffered a non-life threatening injury to the arm and was transported by EMS to a local hospital.
Kershaw County Coroner David West has since identified the deceased as Dashaun Kirkland, 19, of Elgin. Kirkland was an employee at the gas station.
Two suspects were taken into custody.
KCSO believes this was not a random incident and there is no danger to the general public. This is an ongoing investigation with KCSO, the Kershaw County Coroner and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED).
