No bond was set for the suspect in Sunday’s shooting at RipTydz Oceanfront Bar and Grille.
Jakkari Jaquille DeAndre Brown, 24, of Toccoa, Georgia, appeared in court on Monday. This court appearance was Brown’s initial appearance and no bond was set. Bond will be set at a later date in a circuit court.
According to a police report, a responding officer was on patrol in the area of 14th Avenue North and Kings Highway when they were flagged down for a possible fight in front of the bar, located on North Ocean Blvd., around 1:15 a.m. on Sunday. Upon arriving, multiple people reported to police that they had heard gunfire coming from inside the bar.
Responding officers entered the building through a rear staircase as the building was being evacuated, the police report says. Multiple people also reported that a man was firing a weapon on the third floor of the building. Upon entering the roof, the responding officer saw the victim on the floor with a gunshot wound to the head.
Myrtle Beach police said the victim died from their injuries and the Horry County Coroner’s Office identified the victim as 25-year-old Roger Ramos of Myrtle Beach.
In a statement on Facebook, RipTydz said Ramos was an employee and they will be closed until Wednesday for a private memorial service.
Myrtle Beach police ask anyone with any information contact the Myrtle Beach Police Department at 843-918-1382.
