A 19-year-old Saluda woman died and one man was injured on Saturday in two separate shootings during homecoming weekend on South Carolina State University's campus.
Orangeburg County Coroner Sean Fogle said Jaliyah Butler was pronounced dead at Medical University of South Carolina Health Orangeburg.
An autopsy is scheduled for later this week, Fogle said.
The male victim's condition was not immediately known.
The State Law Enforcement Division said he remains in the hospital.
“My heart goes out to all the victims of this unfortunate event and to their families, the South Carolina State University family and the Orangeburg County community," Fogle said Sunday. "Continue to pray for these individuals and our county that we may heal and recover from this tragic event.”
SLED said Sunday it charged one person in connection with Saturday's events.
SLED said it charged 18-year-old Matthew Daniel McCoy, of Blythewood, with pointing and presenting a firearm at a person and carrying a weapon on school property.
Warrants said McCoy witnessed an altercation Saturday between two groups of people on the university's campus, then grabbed a gun from his car and fired the gun two times toward an unidentified Black male wearing a black and red hoodie.
McCoy was booked into the Orangeburg County jail.
South Carolina State University, the state's only public four-year historically Black university, said in a statement it has asked SLED to investigate two shootings on its campus Saturday.
On Saturday, the university said campus police issued a lockdown immediately after the first shooting near the Hugine Suites student residential complex.
Both victims were taken by ambulance to a local hospital.
The first victim, a female guest on campus, was pronounced dead. The second victim, a male guest, was later flown by helicopter to another hospital, the university said.
S.C. State said another guest on campus was injured while running from the scene of the first shooting.
The shootings occurred during the university’s annual homecoming celebration several hours after the game. The university canceled the homecoming concert and all activities planned for Sunday.
“We extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the young woman who lost her life and to all who have been affected,” S.C. State President Alexander Conyers said in a statement. “We are cooperating fully with law enforcement as they investigate these senseless acts of violence. The safety and well-being of our students, employees, and guests remain our top priority.”
The university said it's offering counseling to students.
“We know this tragedy has shaken our Bulldog Family, and we are providing counseling and support for anyone in need,” Conyers said. “I ask everyone to continue caring for one another.”
S.C. State said the campus will remain on lockdown, and will only be accessible to students, employees and investigators.
Monday classes are also canceled, the university said.
Gerald Hubbard Smalls, the university's vice president for finance and administration, said S.C. State had implemented security protocols ahead of the homecoming weekend.
That included, he said, "additional safety measures, including controlled entry points for major events, increased camera monitoring, and enhanced emergency communications protocols."
Anyone with information about either shooting is asked to call SLED at 866-472-8477 or email tips@sled.sc.gov.
