Second Arrest Made in 2020 Aiken Murder Case
Aiken Public Safety officials announced today that a second arrest has been made in a nearly three-year-old murder case.
Investigators say 30-year-old Rahem Devoe was charged Tuesday in connection with the November 29, 2020 shooting death of Tyquan Graham. Graham was shot multiple times at the Palmetto Crossing Apartments at 4060 Sandlapper Drive in Aiken. Investigators at the time said they believed it was a retaliatory-style shooting. The Aiken Bloodhound Tracking Team was called to the scene to assist investigators. But no suspects were arrested until late July this year.
