WALTERBORO, S.C. (Dec. 17, 2025) – A 45-year-old Yemassee man accused of killing a woman in the parking lot of a Walterboro restaurant has been convicted of murder and sentenced to 30 years in prison.
Marvis Jermaine Williams was found guilty of murder Wednesday in the Aug. 15, 2023, shooting death of Mia Tabb outside the Barrell House Grille on Robertson Boulevard. Williams was also found guilty of possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime following a three-day jury trial at the Colleton County Courthouse.
“This defendant’s actions were brazened and ruthless,” said Assistant Solicitor Julie Kate Keeney of the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office, who prosecuted the case. “His actions resulted in the death of one woman and put others at risk. Justice was served today while making Colleton County a safer place.”
Tamika Suewanna Carter, 49, also is charged with murder in connection with the case. She is innocent until and unless proven guilty in court.
Circuit Court Judge Marvin Dukes handed down Wednesday’s sentence against Williams.
