Charleston County deputies are still seeking tips in the decade-old murder of Antwan Green, who was gunned down in a West Ashley barbershop in what investigators called a targeted killing.

Green, 26, was sitting on a couch inside Marvin’s Barbershop on Savannah Highway on the morning of Jan. 15, 2016, when a gunman entered and opened fire, according to Charleston County Sheriff’s Office records. Green died at the scene.

The case remains open with no arrests made, despite a $1,000 reward offered through Crime Stoppers for information leading to an arrest.

“We continue to investigate this case and follow up on any leads that come in,” said Charleston County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Andrew Knapp. “Someone out there knows what happened that morning.”

Investigators determined the shooting was not random. Security footage from the barbershop showed the gunman appeared to target Green specifically, entering the business and immediately firing before fleeing on foot.

The barbershop, located in the 1900 block of Savannah Highway near the intersection with Wappoo Road, was busy that Thursday morning when the shooting occurred around 10:30 a.m. Several witnesses were present, but investigators say they need additional information to move the case forward.

Deputies canvassed the neighborhood immediately after the shooting and collected evidence from the scene. The Charleston County Coroner’s Office ruled Green’s death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

Green lived in North Charleston and had no known connection to the barbershop beyond being a customer that morning, according to investigators. Deputies have not released information about possible motives or whether Green knew his killer.
