BURTON, S.C. () — The Inwood neighborhood is normally a quiet dead-end street, situated right off Joe Frazier Road in Burton. Residents told that silence was broken by gunfire last night, and it all started with a food delivery.

“They’d come running to the door, you know, knocking, identifying who they were, and they were saying that ‘Hey, your DoorDasher just shot your neighbor.”

Corey Ellis, a resident of the Inwood neighborhood said the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) came knocking at his door yesterday evening after responding to a male suffering from a gunshot wound.

According to BCSO, the incident happened around 6:30 p.m.

Ellis said his family’s food order had just been placed on their doorstep, but he wasn’t aware of what would follow.

“Apparently what we had heard was the dasher, you know, dropped the food off and as they were leaving, for some reason, had a heated exchange of words with the neighbor.”

Ellis said, that’s when he was told that the neighbor had been shot. Other residents said they rushed outside to help aid the man’s wound.

Beaufort County Sheriffs confirmed that the male was conscious and alert when they arrived and was transported for further medical care.

“None of us really had no idea what was going on or what had happened. And then, yeah, that’s when, like I said, they told us and it was like, wow, okay, I’m kind of in disbelief moment,” said Ellis. “So were still kind of trying to process it because it was, you know, one of those scenarios. You don’t think it’ll happen to you or near you and then, you know, all of a sudden, it’s like, oh, there it is. So strange.”

reached out to Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office for more information about the incident, but they confirmed they have handed the case over to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division because of multiple conflicts of interest in the department.
