    The Hampton County Sheriff’s Office has taken decisive action in the aftermath of a brazen and violent shooting incident that occurred on Sprayfield Road in Estill, South Carolina, on Saturday, April 12, 2025. In a case that shook the community, multiple individuals were wounded by gunfire in a senseless act of violence that authorities say displayed a clear disregard for human life. Thankfully, no fatalities were reported, but the trauma and danger inflicted upon those involved — as well as the broader community — are deeply concerning.

    Deputies from the Hampton County Sheriff’s Office responded swiftly to the scene after receiving reports of gunfire. Upon arrival, they found several victims suffering from gunshot wounds, prompting an immediate emergency response. Multiple rounds had been fired, turning what should have been a quiet evening into a nightmare for residents in the area. Investigators quickly determined that the attack was not random and that the suspects acted with extreme recklessness and total indifference to the safety of others.

    After an extensive investigation conducted by the Hampton County Sheriff’s Office — with support from partnering law enforcement agencies — authorities were able to obtain arrest warrants and locate the suspects. Both individuals were apprehended without further incident.

    Arrested Individuals:

    • 🔹 Anthony Glen Warren, 31, of Lexington, SC
    • 🔹 Daniel Davis, Jr., 34, of West Columbia, SC

    Both suspects now face a litany of serious felony charges, including:

    • (4 counts) Assault and Battery of a High and Aggravated Nature
    • (1 count) Possession of a Firearm or Ammunition by a Person Convicted of Certain Crimes – First Offense
    • (3 counts) Possession of a Weapon During a Violent Crime
    • (1 count) Discharging a Firearm into a Dwelling

    Despite the gravity of these charges, both Warren and Davis were granted a $95,000 cash/surety bond and were subsequently released after posting bail — a development that has sparked concern among both law enforcement and members of the community.

    Sheriff Russell Issues a Statement

    Sheriff Russell issued a strong and candid statement following the arrests:

    “Once an arrest is made, the matter is turned over to the judicial system. Our responsibility is to thoroughly investigate and bring individuals to justice; it is then up to the courts to determine the outcome. Due to the nature and magnitude of this incident, we requested a no bond for the individuals involved. Unfortunately, a large number of crimes in our community are being committed by repeat offenders, which makes it even more critical and frustrating. It’s hard to notify a loved one’s relative about a loved one lost due to violence, but it’s even harder to tell them the suspected or alleged perpetrator is out on bond.”

    His remarks underscore a growing concern among law enforcement leaders across the state: the release of violent offenders back into the community while awaiting trial. Sheriff Russell reiterated the department’s commitment to public safety and voiced his support for stronger policies that would keep repeat offenders off the streets.

    Community Reassurance and Ongoing Efforts

    The Hampton County Sheriff’s Office acknowledges the fear and disruption that incidents like this cause within the community. Violent crimes, especially those involving firearms, not only endanger lives but erode the sense of security that every resident deserves.

    “We want the public to know that we take these acts of violence seriously and will not tolerate such reckless endangerment of innocent lives,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a public statement. “Our agency remains committed to proactive policing, strong investigative work, and fostering a community where residents feel safe, supported, and heard.”

    This case — and the swift arrests that followed — stand as a testament to that commitment. While the judicial process now takes its course, law enforcement continues to work diligently to ensure justice is served, and that the streets of Hampton County remain safe for all.

    The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities urge anyone with additional information related to the incident to come forward. The Sheriff’s Office assures the public that no lead will be ignored, and every piece of information could be vital in building a stronger case.

    TRAGIC: Her Boyfriend Unalived Her and Buried Her in the Backyard – New Orleans Community in Shock The New Orleans community is grappling with a horrific and heartbreaking tragedy after the life of 24-year-old Essence was cut short in an act of unimaginable violence. According to police, Essence was fatally shot by her boyfriend, Benjamin Camp, who later confessed to the crime and led authorities to the location of her body—buried in the backyard of their shared home on Marigny Street. The New Orleans Police Department reported that Camp, 28, called authorities on the morning of the incident and told them he had killed his girlfriend. Officers responded immediately to the residence in the 2300 block of Marigny Street, where they encountered Camp and took him into custody without incident. He reportedly remained at the scene, awaiting their arrival. What they uncovered next shook even seasoned investigators. Police were directed to a freshly disturbed area in the backyard, where they discovered Essence’s body—wrapped and hastily buried in a shallow grave. Detectives and crime scene units secured the scene and began the difficult work of collecting evidence and piecing together the tragic timeline of events. A Life Stolen Too Soon Essence was remembered by those who knew her as a bright, spirited young woman with a radiant smile and a kind heart. Friends and family say she had dreams of advancing her education and eventually working in a profession that would allow her to help others. She loved music, poetry, and her family deeply. She had recently been exploring new opportunities and trying to create a more stable and fulfilling life for herself. Loved ones say they never could have imagined that the relationship she was in would end in such devastating violence. “She was trying to find herself, and she was growing into a beautiful woman,” said one family member. “We never expected this. We never thought he would do something like this.” The Alleged Killer: Benjamin Camp Benjamin Camp is now facing second-degree murder charges in connection to Essence’s death. Police have not yet revealed a motive, but sources close to the investigation say there were possible signs of a troubled relationship, though no prior domestic violence reports have been made public as of yet. Authorities confirmed that Camp confessed to the killing during the 911 call and provided the location of the body, though they are continuing to gather evidence and speak with witnesses to fully understand the sequence of events that led to the fatal shooting. He remains in custody without bond at the Orleans Justice Center. A Community Demanding Justice As news of the tragedy spread, heartbreak and anger swept through the neighborhood and beyond. Residents gathered outside the home in quiet solidarity, leaving flowers, candles, and handwritten messages at a makeshift memorial near the fence where police marked off the scene. “We want justice for Essence,” said a neighbor. “No one deserves to die like that. She had her whole life ahead of her.” Local advocacy groups have also spoken out, calling for increased awareness around domestic violence and more support for young women in vulnerable relationships. “This is a reminder that behind closed doors, many women suffer in silence,” said one advocate. “Essence’s story is painful, but it cannot be ignored.” Ongoing Investigation The New Orleans Police Department continues to investigate the circumstances leading up to the homicide. They have asked anyone with additional information about the case or the couple’s history to come forward. Essence’s body has been transported to the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office, where an autopsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause and time of death. While her physical presence is gone, her memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved her—and in a community shaken by her tragic and senseless loss. ⸻ If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please know help is available.
