Investigators with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office have made an arrest in connection with the July 29th shooting at 17 Gantt Drive, which left the victim, 36 year-old, Daniel Walker, deceased.
During the course of investigation, investigators determined that victim was shot while exiting his car in what appears to be an attempted robbery over drugs.
The victim was shot at least one time and was transported to the hospital for treatment.
On August 7th the victim succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased.
This afternoon, investigators charged 20 year-old, Ny’Ja Kevon’ Ta Williams-Blassingame, who was already in the Greenville County Detention Center on unrelated charges, with Murder and Possession of a Weapon during a Violent Crime.
This investigation is ongoing as investigators believe at least one other suspect was involved in the incident, alongside Williams-Blassingame.
We ask for anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers of Greenville at 23-CRIME.
In response to the swift and thorough investigation, Sheriff Hobart Lewis had this to say, “No matter what the circumstances, gun-violence in our county is unacceptable and will NOT be tolerated. My heart goes out the family of Mr. Walker as they mourn his loss. I am extremely proud of our team of investigators for conducting a comprehensive and swift investigation into the shooting and for their efforts of working to get another dangerous suspect off the streets of Greenville.”
Williams-Blassingame is awaiting a bond hearing on the respective charges.
