It is so difficult to accept such sloppy investigative work. If D.J. had been a member of a prominent family, I wonder if the investigation would have been more thorough. This is one of many stories in South Carolina, as well as other states, in which the families have no answers regarding the death of their loved ones. Thank you to Jenn Wood and the rest of the Fits News staff who are bringing these cases to light. Hopefully, bringing these cases back into the open will result in reopening these cases and honest pursuits made to find answers.
Thank you! It has just been a big cover up for so many reasons because of who is who. His Step Dad was a detective with them only to leave not long before he was murdered to investigate cases for prosecution ~So much more to come soon.
Nicely reported and written article.
Lelango Holmes is another unsolved case.
Prayers to DJ’s family and for answers.
Thank you! His family appreciates it so much!
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your correct about whose who. Knight told me when asked about an investigation from the same area and certain suspects, “but they come from a good family”. Refused to investigate. The same suspect was on video shooting up a home in Berkley county trying to kill the victim that made a report which was also witnessed, then a follow up live feed of a confession. With a recording of the police watching the live video. The family has connections in local departments and Columbia. Even on camera no arrests. There is no justice any more especially in that area and especially with Knight as Sheriff and Carson as his right hand man. The whole department should be investigated and an emergency election for a new sheriff so Knight can continue to do nothing….
Justice for all~everything you said is so true! As long as Knight, Carson and a few others are in control to keep everything covered there will never be a change even though Richardson is running to replace Knight after retirement. It’s just the same circle over and over that the public has no clue about. Ours should have went to the AG’S office to be conflicted out but instead they called SLED which they run because of who is who and Knight retired from there. They refused to do anything even after Everything was presented to Shawn Thornton at the 14 circuit solicitors office. A good family or not shouldn’t mean they can take someone’s life~then again it’s ok in Dorchester County. We are one of many! Yes, they need a complete overhaul in that office! How could we possibly make a complaint with internal affairs in that office when the one that takes the complaints is the grandfather ~in law of the one over CID? His wife works for Knight law firm. We have fought tooth and nail to get justice for our Son, who was from a good family ~who’s step~dad happened to be a detective for them before going to the Solicitors office. They know him well and know he has a great reputation and leaves no stone unturned. All we asked for was justice and the ones that murdered him do not come from a good family! Obviously they didn’t run them. SLED is nothing but smoke and mirrors but it sounds like you know them well. We need change!!!! WE NEED JUSTICE!
Did Michael Arana die ? It says he was shot but doesn’t go any further. I read that another individual that was there passed from a car accident. How many individuals that need to be questioned or questioned again are still living ?
Have any of you noticed the areas that all have similar cases like this – with the cover ups, corruption, etc. ? It’s like a full circle from Sumter to Lexington to the Charleston area and then include SLED. Ironically enough – Sumter County’s sheriff came from SLED also.
All these connections are not coincidence and once you start digging – the connections can be seen. There is a LIVE Facebook video that Julie Bean’s (missing from Sumter) daughter did where she reveals an hour’s worth of information.
It is often said by a lot of people that these corruptions and cover ups go much higher than our state FBI.
How do you know who to trust to help or that aren’t just helping to lead you the wrong way ? All they do is gaslight these victim’s families and make them seem crazy.
PEOPLE – open your eyes and pay attention !
Also – I hope you get the justice your son deserves ! No family should have to do what you are in order to get justice and have to hear or learn gruesome details.
Your family can not even begin to grieve or heal when you have to do something like you are. I applaud your tenacity and dedication because your son deserves justice. It should not matter if someone is an addict, former addict or any other label people want to use – we all have our bad habits but he is still someone’s son, dad, brother, uncle and he deserves the respect to be treated as such !!
Your family is my thoughts as you navigate this journey. Good luck !
