<body><div>HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF) - Residents in one Longs-area neighborhood are still reeling after a deadly shooting earlier this week. “Oh, had I known about Freemont Road, I would have never lived in this area,” one resident said on Saturday. That resident wanted to remain anonymous but said she had just returned home after hearing what had happened. “Of course I was concerned,” she said. “First of all, because that’s the time elementary school kids get off the bus here”.A police report shows a call came in at 2:18 p.m. Thursday, when an officer found someone in a car not breathing and shot in the stomach. The victim has since been identified as 53-year-old Don Johnson who later died at the hospital.The report also says that a second person was shot in the arm.Duke Junior lives in a neighborhood beside Freemont Road and said he heard the response following the incident. “We heard the ambulances, fire trucks, sirens,” Junior said. Police said the shooting suspect, 20-year-old Da’Shauan Knox, was arrested Thursday and charged with murder, attempted murder, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3gPpT6_0zi9zzL000" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3gPpT6_0zi9zzL000" width="1300" height="730" ><figcaption>Da’Shauan Knox (J Reuben Long Detention Center)</figcaption></figure>An arrest warrant revealed Knox was in a verbal dispute before shooting Johnson “multiple times about his body.” Residents near Freemont Road also told WMBF News they worry violence from that road could disrupt their normally quiet community. “My biggest concern is police chasing people on foot through the neighborhood and if they’re armed or not,” Junior said. You don’t want to have your children or your wife or your pets outside if there’s random shooting going on,”. He said that the violence has stayed on the other side of the tree line, but they do often hear gunshots in the early morning.Horry County Police Department announced in the summer of 2024 that they would be increasing patrols and utilizing specialty units in the Highway 9 corridor to combat increased crime. Junior said that effort is what the community is asking for. “As long as we see progress and arrest, I think most people could be happy with that,” he said. WMBF News is still working to learn how or if Knox knew Johnson and the unidentified victim. As of Saturday afternoon, Knox is still being held at J. Reuben Long Detention Center with a no bond set.Stay with WMBF News for updates.</div></body>
