Authorities have announced additional arrests in connection with a 2023 shooting that left a 20-year-old man dead in the Midlands. 

Jatavious K. Harris was found deceased in July 2023 inside a home in the 800 block of Old 96 Indian Trail in the Monetta area of Aiken County near the town of Batesburg-Leesville, which has areas in Lexington, Aiken and Saluda counties.

In October 2023, Monetta resident Jquan Kentrall Bowers was arrested and charged with murder, four counts of attempted murder and weapons charges. He was 18 at the time of his arrest.
