Man Wanted for Murder Arrested After Hours-Long Standoff in North Charleston
In a dramatic turn of events, Kristian Jaheem Bryant, a 20-year-old man accused of murder, was apprehended in North Charleston, S.C., following an intense standoff with local authorities earlier this week.
The Arrest
In a collaborative effort between North Charleston Police and the U.S. Marshals Service, Bryant, who was wanted for murder, was effectively seized after a grueling hour-long standoff on Wednesday afternoon. The U.S. Marshals Service has confirmed his capture, ending a manhunt that began in April.
Bryant is facing serious charges including murder, attempted armed robbery, armed robbery with a deadly weapon, and three counts of first-degree assault and battery according to jail records.
The Incident
The charges are in connection with a fatal shooting that unfolded on Stall Rd. on April 25, leaving one man aged 37 dead. This information is attributable to a statement released by the local Police Spokesperson, Harve Jacobs.
Bryant wasn’t alone in the act. Two other individuals—Kobe Javon Bryant, Bryan’s 22-year-old brother, and 19-year-old Triston Robertson—were nabbed on April 29 on charges related to the murder.
Investigation and Standoff
Around noon, residents received a notice from the North Charleston Police urging them to steer clear of the Glyn Terrace region while they pursued Bryant. The law enforcement’s efforts were led by the U.S Marshals Service Carolinas Regional Fugitive Task Force, as stated by U.S. Marshals Service Assistant Chief Inspector John Hale.
All details regarding the standoff that preceded Bryant’s arrest have yet to be released. Investigation into the matter is still ongoing, with the North Charleston Police and the U.S. Marshals Service expected to release further developments.
Developing Story
As a booking photo of Bryant wasn’t immediately available at the time of the arrest, it is expected to be released to the public once available. Everyone is advised to keep an eye on this case as the story continues to unfold.
