Title: Second Arrest Made in South Carolina Memorial Day Weekend Boat Shooting
LITTLE RIVER, SC — A tragic boat party cruise ended in chaos over Memorial Day weekend when a shooting injured 11 people, prompting serious questions about safety and oversight. Eyewitness accounts reveal no visible security measures were in place prior to the May 25 incident, with no ID checks or weapon screenings reported by victims’ attorney Tyler Bailey.
The Horry County Police have subsequently arrested a 16-year-old from North Carolina, the second suspect involved. Both he and a 19-year-old from Illinois face charges of attempted murder. During the shooting, which took place as around 120 partygoers were departing the dock, ten individuals sustained gunshot wounds, while one was injured by a falling speaker.
Bailey, representing shooting victim Jeremy Evans, who recently underwent ankle surgery, indicated he would conduct a separate investigation, raising concerns about the lack of ID checks, especially given the presence of minors and alcohol sales. “In one single moment, my entire world was flipped upside down,” Evans stated, reflecting on the incident’s traumatic impact.
Little River, a fishing village northeast of Myrtle Beach, is grappling with the aftermath of this shocking event as investigations continue. More arrests may soon follow.
