In the early morning hours of a Saturday in Bennettsville, South Carolina, tragedy struck as 31-year-old Prezodous 'Prep' Jenkins was fatally shot. The incident occurred on October 11, 2025, on Atkins Street in the area of a nightclub known as Mr. G's, formerly the Knife and Fork Night Club. Jenkins was pronounced dead at a local hospital shortly after the shooting.
The Marlboro County Sheriff's Office has characterized the shooting as a senseless and cowardly act of violence.
Despite reports that a large crowd of up to 200 people may have been present at the time of the incident, authorities have expressed frustration over the lack of forthcoming eyewitnesses. Investigators have been met with a slow trickle of information, hampering their efforts to identify and apprehend the person or persons responsible for Jenkins' death.
In an effort to generate leads, the family of Prezodous Jenkins has offered a $5,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of anyone involved in the shooting. The Sheriff's Office continues to appeal to the public for assistance, urging anyone with details, no matter how insignificant they may seem, to come forward. As of late 2025, no arrests have been announced in the case, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The investigation remains active as law enforcement officials work to bring closure to the family and community affected by this loss.
