Jayvion Nyrek Rice, 19, was denied bond on February 4, 2026, following the fatal shooting of his 21-year-old girlfriend, Skyy Ernestasjah Logan, at a home on Farm Creek Road in Inman, Spartanburg County, South Carolina.​
Incident Overview
Deputies responded to a 911 call from Rice’s mother just after 9 p.m. on February 3, 2026, finding Logan on the front porch with a gunshot wound to her neck/chest area; she was transported to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center but died shortly before midnight. Rice initially claimed the shooting was accidental while handling a firearm inside the home, but scene evidence—including inconsistencies in his account and indications of a domestic dispute—led investigators to treat it as a homicide.
Court Proceedings
Rice faces charges of murder (carrying 30 years to life if convicted) and possession of a weapon during a violent crime (up to 5 years). During the bond hearing, Assistant Solicitor Anthony Leibert highlighted the tragedy, noting Logan’s 3-year-old son was nearby calling for his mother as she collapsed amid spurting blood, possibly captured on video, influencing the judge’s decision to deny bail. His next court date is April 16, 2026.
