In Loving Memory of Raynard Brewington

Lexington, South Carolina — The Lexington community is grieving the tragic loss of Raynard Brewington, 43, who was found shot to death in the parking lot of an apartment complex near Lake Murray. His sudden and violent passing has left family, friends, and neighbors in deep sorrow, grappling with the heartbreak of losing a life far too soon.

According to Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon, deputies responded early Monday morning after receiving 911 calls reporting what witnesses described as possible gunshots near the 2200 block of Lake Murray Boulevard. “Mr. Brewington’s body was found near his apartment building before daylight,” Koon said, confirming the devastating loss to the community.

The Lexington County Coroner, Margaret Fisher, officially identified the victim as Raynard Brewington. Investigators have launched a full homicide investigation, speaking with 911 callers and residents of the apartment complex as part of their ongoing efforts. Sheriff Koon noted that detectives plan to continue interviewing neighbors and nearby businesses to gather information and piece together the events leading up to the tragedy.

Authorities are urging anyone with knowledge of the incident to come forward and share tips. Residents can submit anonymous information through the Midlands Crimestoppers app, and those who provide details that lead to an arrest may be eligible for a cash reward.

Raynard’s death leaves an irreplaceable void in the lives of those who knew him. He was a father, friend, and member of the community whose presence was meaningful and valued. Though the circumstances of his passing are filled with uncertainty and grief, the memories he leaves behind — the moments of kindness, laughter, and connection — will endure.

The Lexington community now mourns alongside Raynard’s loved ones, honoring his life and seeking justice in his memory. While the investigation continues, his life will be remembered not for the tragedy that took him, but for the impact he had on those around him.

May Raynard Brewington rest in eternal peace, and may his family, friends, and neighbors find comfort, support, and strength in this difficult time. 🕊️
