Fatal Columbia car crash claims the lives of Antavius J. Brown and Ryan B. Haman – Obituary.
Authorities have released details surrounding a weekend crash in Columbia, South Carolina, that resulted in the deaths of 36-year-old Antavius J. Brown and 52-year-old Ryan B. Haman.
The incident occurred on Saturday at the intersection of Hazelwood and Garners Ferry Road, following an earlier domestic dispute at Cross Hill Apartments on Blossom Street.
Columbia Police Department officers initially responded to a report of a woman shot in the lower body at the apartment complex around 11 a.m. Brown, identified as the suspected shooter, reportedly transported the injured woman to a hospital. While there, police say he made threats to return to the apartment complex to harm the children inside and himself.
As officers from the Columbia Police Department and Richland County Sheriff’s Department pursued Brown, his vehicle collided with others, resulting in the deaths of Haman and his dog. After the crash, authorities believe Brown shot himself in the lower body while still in the vehicle.
Brown was arrested at the scene and transported to a hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries. Police reported that Brown had been livestreaming the pursuit on social media before the fatal crash.
