Anthony Jamison, a 32-year-old male, was fatally wounded on the evening of May 11, 2014, in what authorities described as a drive-by shooting in Anderson, South Carolina. The incident occurred around 9:30 p.m. on West Market Street. Jamison was reportedly standing outside an apartment building with a group of people when a vehicle drove by and someone from inside the car opened fire.
He was struck by the gunfire and was later pronounced dead.
Following an investigation into the shooting, law enforcement identified a teenage suspect. Bryan Cortez 'Taz' Webb, who was 17 years old at the time of the incident, was arrested and charged with murder in connection with Jamison's death. He was also charged with multiple counts of attempted murder as there were other individuals present with Jamison at the time of the shooting.
Webb was taken into custody by the Anderson Police Department. During legal proceedings, a judge denied bond for the teenage suspect, and he remained in custody. Further details regarding the motive for the shooting were not made widely available in initial reports. The case proceeded through the judicial system, with the prosecution presenting evidence that linked Webb to the fatal drive-by shooting.
Ultimately, Bryan Cortez Webb was tried for the murder of Anthony Jamison. He was convicted of the charges brought against him. For his role in the death of Jamison and the endangerment of others present during the shooting, Webb was sentenced to a lengthy prison term. The conviction brought a measure of closure to the family of Anthony Jamison and addressed the violent act that cut his life short.
