Beaufort man accused in 2021 Grays Hill shooting back in custody Monday, police say
A man accused of injuring two people at a graduation party in northern Beaufort County was back in jail Monday for failing to comply with the terms of his bond, court records show.
Zayvion Moon, 19, of Beaufort, was charged on June 22, 2021 with two counts of attempted murder and possession of a weapon in the commission of a violent crime.
Moon was granted a $20,000 bond that same day.
On May 8, Moon was back at the Beaufort County Detention Center for failing to appear in court on those charges. As of Wednesday afternoon, he was in custody at the detention center.
Moon’s attorney, Juan Tolley, could not immediately be reached for comment.
Deputies went to a community center in Grays Hill, an unincorporated area in northern Beaufort County, around 11:45 p.m. on June 16, 2021, after a report of shots fired. A graduation party was going on at the time of the shooting.
When police arrived, they detained two cars attempting to exit the parking lot. Further investigation revealed the drivers were attempting to transport the injured to hospital. At least two people, including a young girl and a man, were then taken by ambulance to the hospital for treatment of gun shot wounds, according to previous reporting from The Island Packet and Beaufort Gazette.
The girl was treated at Beaufort Memorial Hospital for minor injuries, and the man was taken to the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. Moon left the community center before police arrived but later turned himself in.
BEHIND THE STORY
MOREWhy we did this story:
The Island Packet and Beaufort Gazette newspapers are making an effort to update stories we’ve published where criminal charges were filed. Criminal charges mean law enforcement had probable cause to arrest someone, but a court decides on a person’s guilt and conviction. If our newspaper has written about a crime where charges were brought, we want to use public records to show what happened in that case.
