Lexington County is in distress as 14-year-old Khalil Shaw has been missing since January 7, 2025. Residents are urged to help locate him as the police seek tips. With ongoing community concerns related to local violence, the urgency to find Khalil has intensified amidst other tragic events in the area.

The heart of Lexington County, known for its friendly neighborhoods and welcoming atmosphere, has recently been shaken by the disappearance of a local teenager, 14-year-old Khalil Shaw. The young boy has been missing since January 7, 2025, leaving family, friends, and residents filled with concern and seeking answers.
Khalil, who resides on Railroad Avenue, was reported missing after he ran away from home. According to family members, Khalil did reach out to his parents by phone during his time away but has declined to reveal his location or plans to return. As many parents can relate, this refusal to return home has put a cloud of worry over his family and highlights the need for community support in locating him.
Described as standing 5’5” tall and weighing around 110 pounds, Khalil was last seen wearing a rather distinctive outfit that may help jog the memories of those who might have seen him. At the time he went missing, he wore black pants, a black shirt, a black hoodie, and red flip flops, a look that could easily blend into various surroundings.
The Lexington Police Department is actively seeking assistance from the community in locating Khalil. It’s a call to action for residents to keep an eye out and report any tips that could help reunite him with his family. Anyone with information about Khalil’s whereabouts is urged to reach out to Detective Corporal Voravudhi at 803-359-2067 or via email at cvoravudhi@lexsc.gov.
Adding to the troubled atmosphere in Lexington County, a body was recently discovered in the Congaree River, identified as Voyd Tribble III from Pomaria. Currently, investigators report no obvious signs of trauma on his body, and the cause of death is still under investigation. This incident has drawn attention from multiple agencies, including the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, highlighting ongoing concerns related to safety in the area.
In a separate but related incident, the Cayce Police Department is investigating a shooting that resulted in the tragic death of 22-year-old Jalen Allen back in September 2024. Reports indicate a link to juvenile suspects involved in gang activity, raising alarms and sparking conversations throughout the community about the influence of gangs on local youth.
Authorities have confirmed that there have been 91 incident reports from a local apartment complex, with a staggering 15 classified as violent crimes related to Allen’s shooting. This ongoing investigation includes forensic testing on evidence retrieved from the Congaree River, pointing to a broader need for community awareness and involvement in tackling issues of crime and youth safety.
As the search for Khalil continues, residents are encouraged to stay vigilant and supportive of one another. Whether it’s through keeping a watchful eye or simply lending a listening ear, community spirit can play a vital role in improving the chances of finding Khalil safe and sound.
The journey to bring Khalil Shaw back home is one that the community of Lexington must collectively embark on. If you have any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Together, it is hoped that we can bring Khalil back to his loving family and bring some comfort back to this concerned community.
