North Charleston Woman Charged After Shooting Incident Leaves Pedestrian Injured
In what can only be described as a chaotic and alarming incident, North Charleston found itself grappling with a shooting that left a pedestrian injured early in the morning on March 23, 2025. The events took place near an illegal club located at 1966 Comstock Avenue, stirring up a large crowd and sending police scrambling to the scene.
The Early Morning Scene
As the sun barely peeked over the horizon, a woman was found lying in the middle of the road, having reportedly been run over. Onlookers gathered around her, horrified by the sight of her ankle protruding at an unnatural angle—a grisly reminder of the incident that had just unfolded. Eye-witnesses recounted hearing gunfire moments before, with bullets striking the hood of a nearby Jeep.
A Dramatic Escape
It all started when a woman at the illegal club was asked to leave the premises. Rather than comply, she jumped into a white SUV and made her escape, firing shots from the window as she fled down Davis Street.
It wasn’t long before disaster struck: the fleeing vehicle struck a pedestrian in the roadway, leaving one individual with serious injuries. To make matters worse, another victim emerged, reporting they had also been run over by the suspect’s vehicle, resulting in a broken left foot. The brutality of the incident shocked those who witnessed it.
Police Investigation Unfolds
As the chaotic scene settled, law enforcement officers quickly cordoned off sections of Davis Street and Comstock Avenue, using crime scene tape to secure the area. Multiple shell casings were discovered strewn across the street, and a bullet was found lodged in a nearby vehicle, confirming just how serious the shooting was.
Following initial investigations, the North Charleston police announced that 20-year-old Makajah Zhane-Asharea Miller, a resident of Wadmalaw, was charged days later with three counts of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. This news quickly spread throughout the community, further emphasizing the need for safety in their neighborhoods.
Details on the Accused
Miller was officially booked into the Al Cannon Detention Center on March 26, 2025. Just a day later, she was granted a bond of $50,000 for each assault charge, but as of March 29, she remained behind bars while the investigation continued.
This isn’t Miller’s first ride on the legal carousel; in April 2023, when she was just 17, she had pleaded guilty to shoplifting. While her fine of $2,125 was suspended, it does add a concerning layer to her already troubled history.
Community Reaction
Residents of North Charleston are understandably shaken by the events. This incident highlights a growing concern about safety, particularly around locations identified as illegal clubs, which tend to attract this kind of chaos. The club in question is situated just a block away from Kwik Mart, a popular convenience store recognized for its bright yellow exterior.
The communities in this area are hoping that, moving forward, measures will be taken to ensure the safety of pedestrians and residents alike. How law enforcement will handle this situation remains to be seen, but it certainly scrutinizes the legality of such establishments that seem to have an alarming impact on public safety.
As the investigation continues and legal proceedings are underway, the people of North Charleston are left to ponder the effects such incidents create within their community. Only time will tell what the fallout will be, but one thing is for sure: this incident has raised many eyebrows and brought forth an important conversation about safety and accountability.
