Orangeburg, SC – A South Carolina sheriff is renewing his call for information in an unsolved shooting that left a 22 year old man dead more than three years ago, hoping someone may hold the missing details investigators need to move the case forward.
According to the Orangeburg County Sheriff 's Office, Sheriff Leroy Ravenell is asking the public to come forward with information regarding the August 27, 2023, shooting death of Raquan Rollins, a resident of Santee.
The case began when Rollins was traveling along Old Number Six Highway near Harvest Court, approximately three miles west of Eutawville in Orangeburg County.
Authorities said a passing motorist reported seeing a silver Honda that appeared to have been involved in a crash.
When investigators responded, they identified Rollins as the driver of the vehicle and discovered he had suffered a gunshot wound.
The shooting remains unsolved, and investigators are continuing to seek information about what happened.
Ravenell emphasized that even seemingly insignificant details could prove valuable to the investigation.
"This is an unsolved case at this point but we haven't given up," Ravenell said in the department's latest public appeal.
"Anyone with information whether you think it's big or not important, call us."
The Sheriff's Office has not announced any arrests or publicly identified a suspect in connection with Rollins' death.
Authorities have also not provided additional details about what may have led to the shooting.
The renewed appeal highlights the department's continued efforts to obtain information that could help establish the circumstances surrounding the young man's death.
Anyone with information about the shooting or events surrounding the discovery of the silver Honda is encouraged to contact the Orangeburg County Communications Center at 803 534 3550 .
The investigation remains open as authorities continue seeking answers.
