In the quiet town of Chester, South Carolina, the life of 29-year-old Elijahwan D. Boulware, a Black male, was abruptly ended on the evening of Monday, June 17, 2024. Reports of gunfire at the Ramsey Grove Apartments on Flint Street prompted a swift response from the Chester County Sheriff's Office. Upon their arrival, deputies discovered Boulware with gunshot wounds.
He was quickly transported to a nearby hospital, but tragically, efforts to save his life were unsuccessful.
The investigation into the shooting quickly identified a suspect, 45-year-old Carlton Wallace Dixon. Dixon is now wanted on multiple charges, including murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and possession of a firearm or ammunition by a person convicted of a violent crime. Authorities have publicly stated that Dixon should be considered armed and dangerous.
In the time since Boulware's death, law enforcement agencies have intensified their search for Dixon. The Chester County Sheriff's Office, the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division and the FBI have joined forces in a collaborative effort to bring him to justice. Recognizing the importance of public assistance, a substantial reward of $15,000 has been offered for any information that leads directly to Dixon's arrest. More than a year after the fatal shooting, Carlton Wallace Dixon remains a fugitive, and the case continues to be an active and ongoing investigation.
