While multiple arrests have been made in connection with the 2024 death of Jalen L. Allen in Cayce, law enforcement is asking for the public’s help in finding another suspect.

“Following a months-long investigation, Damian Rayshaun Brown, 19, has been charged with murder, armed robbery, possession of a weapon during a violent crime and criminal conspiracy, according to arrest warrants. Two juveniles have also been arrested in connection with the case,” according to a release from the Cayce Police Department. “Investigators with the Cayce Police Department Criminal Investigations Division, working alongside the Lexington County Sheriff's Department Crime Reduction Unit, developed evidence and conducted interviews that led to the arrests. The investigation determined Allen was the victim of an armed robbery at the Alight Apartments on Alexander Road in Cayce in September 2024 when he was shot and killed.”

The investigation is ongoing as detectives work to locate Lakenya Ny'Kia Williams, 20, who is wanted on an outstanding warrant in connection with the shooting.

“Anyone who sees Williams should not approach her and should immediately call 911,” according to the release.
