In the spring of 2021, a violent incident in Darlington County, South Carolina, led to the death of 45-year-old Wilbert Brown. The male victim was fatally shot on April 10th in the 2600 block of North Governor Williams Highway. For several months, the case remained under investigation as authorities worked to identify a suspect.
In a significant development nearly three months after the shooting, a man named Marquese Devonta Jett, 29, of Darlington, turned himself in to law enforcement.
On July 7, 2021, Jett was taken into custody and formally charged with one count of murder in connection with Wilbert Brown's death. He was subsequently booked into the county jail. Information regarding a trial or conviction for the accused has not been made publicly available.
