On the evening of July 3, 2020, a violent series of events unfolded in the Oakside Mobile Home Park in Goose Creek, South Carolina, resulting in a triple homicide. Acacio Carro, a 45-year-old White male, was one of three victims who lost their lives during an armed robbery that turned deadly. The incident was part of a broader crime spree that night which included multiple robberies in the area.
Investigators determined that the suspects had been specifically targeting Hispanic residents within the community, approaching victims outside their homes to demand money and valuables at gunpoint.
Law enforcement officers from the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene on Oakside Drive, where they discovered the victims. Alongside Carro, 39-year-old Jose Torrez-Padilla and 32-year-old Salvador Dominguez were also killed in the shooting. The investigation moved quickly, and within days, authorities identified and apprehended two suspects. On July 6, 2020, deputies arrested 24-year-old Jabaari Kayon Ferguson and a 16-year-old juvenile, Robert Anthony Maize II, connecting them to the fatal shootings as well as other armed robberies reported in the Sunrise Mobile Home Park and Pine Shadow Drive areas earlier that same night.
Legal proceedings for the accused stretched over several years. Robert Maize, who was a teenager at the time of the crimes, was charged as an adult with multiple counts of murder and armed robbery. His trial commenced in early 2025 in Berkeley County. During the court proceedings, prosecutors argued that Maize was the primary aggressor and the one who fired the fatal shots. Jabaari Ferguson, the co-defendant, testified on behalf of the state, admitting to his role in driving the getaway vehicle and participating in the robberies but maintaining that Maize was the shooter. Ferguson claimed he believed they were only going to rob the victims and did not know Maize intended to kill them.
The defense for Maize challenged Ferguson's credibility, arguing that Ferguson was the actual perpetrator and was shifting the blame to the younger defendant. After days of testimony and deliberation, the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict. On March 24, 2025, the judge declared a mistrial due to the deadlocked jury. Following the mistrial, Maize remained on house arrest with electronic monitoring while awaiting a potential retrial. As of late 2025, the final legal resolution for both suspects remained pending, with Ferguson also facing charges for his involvement in the deadly crime spree.
