25-year-old charged in connection with Aiken nightclub killing

AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - A 25-year-old Saint Matthews man has been charged in connection with a nightclub shooting that killed one and injured 14 others back in November.

The shooting at the Seventh Lounge in Aiken killed 30-year-old North Augusta resident Craig Youmans and injured several others.

Dustin Robert Williamson stands charged with murder, 10 counts of attempted murder, and one count of weapons possession.

Williamson was arrested back on Nov. 30 by the Barnwell County Sheriff’s Office and has been held at the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office Detention Center since then.

He was arrested then in connection with the murder of Henrietta Creech that happened on Nov. 28. at a home on Hwy 278 in Barnwell County.

He was charged with murder with malice and one count of weapons possession in that crime. A bond hearing was held, however, the bond was denied and he remains in custody.

Investigations are still open for both incidents. Investigators are also seeking an additional suspect in connection with the Aiken nightclub shooting.
