News Release: Charges Made in Two Home Invasions
09/09/26
Sheriff Leon Lott announces charges made against Shaheim Jackson (27; DOB: 01/12/99) in connection with two home invasions.
On August 13, 2026, at approximately 1:00 a.m., deputies responded to the 400 block of Warner Dr. for a home invasion. Deputies arrived on scene and found forced entry to the residence. The victims explained that multiple suspects forced entry into their home with firearms and fatally shot their dog in the process. The suspects fled in a vehicle before law enforcement arrived on scene.
On August 25, 2026, at approximately 11:45 p.m., deputies responded to the 300 block of Melstone Dr. for multiple shots fired calls. Deputies arrived on scene and learned that forced entry was made into the home before the homeowner and suspects exchanged gunfire. The suspects fled in a vehicle before law enforcement arrived on scene.
On September 2, 2026, RCSD investigators assisted the US Marshall’s Office and Charleston Police Department with a search warrant and arrest warrant on the 200 block of Horseshoe Cir. for Jackson in connection with crimes within Charleston’s jurisdiction. A vehicle matching the description of the suspect vehicle from surveillance footage in both home invasions was observed at the residence. During the search warrant, an AR-15 Pistol was seized which was determined to be stolen. Ballistic testing determined this was the same gun used in both Richland County home invasions.
Jackson is at the Al Cannon Detention Center for Charleston County’s warrants. Jackson, upon his release in Charleston, will be brought back to the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center for two counts of Burglary 1st Degree, two counts of Attempted Murder, two counts of Possession of a Weapon During a Violent Crime, two counts of Possession of a Firearm by Person Convicted of a Violent Offense, one count of Ill Treatment of an Animal, one count of Kidnapping, and one count of Attempted Kidnapping.
RCSD investigators are looking for additional suspects involved in the home invasions. Anyone with information regarding these incidents is asked to call RCSD at 803-576-3000 or submit a tip anonymously through CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
