Authorities in Florence County say multiple teens from Myrtle Beach are facing charges after a late-night dispute in Johnsonville led to the death of 16-year-old Trey Dean Wright on June 24, 2025. The case has shaken the local community and drawn attention across the region as details continue to emerge.
Officials confirmed that at least nine individuals have been connected to the incident, with one more person expected to turn themselves in. Investigators allege that the group acted together during the confrontation and, under South Carolina law, are being considered accomplices in the case. This means that even those who may not have directly caused harm could still face serious legal consequences if authorities determine they played a role in the events that unfolded.
