In the early morning hours of November 2, 2025, a burst of gunfire shattered the late-night quiet outside the Aqua Event Center on Rivers Avenue in North Charleston, South Carolina, leaving a young man's life tragically cut short. Terrance Bolger, a 27-year-old Black male, was found unresponsive in the parking lot by North Charleston Police officers who arrived at the scene just before 2:00 a.m. Despite the immediate response from emergency services, Bolger was pronounced dead at the scene.
Another individual, a woman, was also struck by the gunfire and was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Family and friends remember Terrance as a beloved father of two who was known for his outgoing personality and the close circle of friends he cherished. His death has left his family heartbroken and searching for answers. In the days following the shooting, his loved ones gathered to place blue and white flowers, his favorite colors, at the site where he lost his life, a somber memorial to a life ended too soon. His mother, struggling with the immense grief of burying her son, has spoken of the unimaginable pain of receiving the call that her child was gone.
The North Charleston Police Department launched a homicide investigation into the shooting, but as of now, no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified. Detectives are actively investigating the incident and have urged anyone with information to come forward and provide an anonymous tip. The lack of answers has been agonizing for Terrance Bolger's family, who continue to wait for a breakthrough in the case. They have made public pleas for justice, urging the person or persons responsible to turn themselves in, as they grapple with the devastating reality of their loss and the lingering questions surrounding his murder.
