‘I have never seen such a disregard for human life in my life’: Two suspects in Ocean Blvd shooting denied bond

UPDATE: 5/19/20 8:00 p.m. — Quandre Tyson, 20, was denied bond by a judge after appearing in court today.

“I have never seen such a disregard for human life in my life,” Judge Clifford Welsh said. “I can’t have gang violence on the streets of Myrtle Beach. I can’t in good conscience let this guy out of jail right now.”

According to arrest warrants, Tyson shot “indiscriminately into the crowd while trying to shoot another subject.”

Tyson also had 4 rectangular green pills, later identified as Alprazolam, and 5 yellow round pills, later identified as Oxycodone, in his right front pocket, according to the arrest warrants.

Tyson is also charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance, schedule I – V, first offense.

Anthony Deantez Griffin, 17, also had his bond hearing today, but due to his age, we were not allowed to get video of his hearing.
