Update: Deputies Arrest 2 Suspected Gang Members in West Columbia Shooting

Update, 4 p.m. July 17: Deputies arrested two suspected Folk Nation gang members in connection with a Monday-morning shooting in West Columbia. 

Xavius Quandile Riley, 21, is charged with murder and possessing a weapon during the commission of a violent crime, according to the Lexington County Sheriff's Department. Jermele Antawin Eigner, 26, of Newberry is charged with accessory after the fact to murder.

Deputies say Riley shot and killed Terance Terell Jackson, 33, around 2 a.m. Monday.

Jackson was sitting in his car at West Vista Apartments on Riverbend Drive in West Columbia where he and Riley lived when the shooting happened, according to the sheriff's department. Deputies say the two men were involved in a dispute about a week ago that could have led to the incident.

Deputies say Riley also shot a 24-year-old woman who was sitting in the car with Jackson. She was shot in the hip but is expected to recover.

Riley went to Eigner’s home in Newberry after the shooting on Monday morning, according to the sheriff's department. Deputies say Eigner agreed to dispose of the handgun Riley used in the shooting.

Riley and Eigner were being held Tuesday at the Lexington County Detention Center awaiting a bond hearing. 

Original story, July 16: The Lexington County Sheriff’s Department is searching for suspects involved in an incident where one man was shot and killed, and a woman was wounded.

The incident happened about 2:12 a.m. Monday morning at an apartment complex on Riverbend Drive near West Columbia.

Deputies responded to a call about the fatal shooting and found the body of Terance Terell Jackson, 33, of West Columbia, in the front seat of a red, two-door Buick sedan that was parked at the Riverbend Drive apartment complex, Lexington County Sheriff James Metts said in a release.

Jackson and a 24-year-old Cheraw woman were sitting in the car that was parked at the apartment complex.

Jackson died from multiple gunshot wounds to his upper torso, Lexington County Coroner Harry Harman said in a release.

Bullets lacerated Jackson’s aorta and lungs, and he died within minutes after the shooting, according to the coroner’s report.

Deputies later found the woman at an apartment in the same complex.

The woman, who was shot in the lower torso, had sought help after the shooting, Metts said.

The woman’s name has not been released because she is a witness in the fatal shooting, according to the department.

The woman is in the intensive care unit at a local hospital.

Investigators say the woman met Jackson about a week ago at their workplace and had been to a bar together prior to the shooting.

The circumstances and motive of the fatal shooting remain under investigation.
