BEAUFORT, S.C. () — A suspect in the 2021 shooting death of an 18-year-old Bluffton student athlete appeared in court Thursday.

DJ Fields was shot and killed, and two other teens were injured, when suspects opened fire on the car they were driving along Bluffton Parkway.

A key figure in Fields’ death, Jayden Void, admitted guilt to charges of assault by mob resulting in death, second-degree serious bodily injury, and third-degree bodily injury.

Fields father, Dwon Fields asked the judge to give Jayden the maximum penalty allowed while giving his testimony.

Jayden’s lawyer requested a suspension of his sentence to prevent further jail time. Now 23, Jayden expressed his deep remorse for the incident to the judge.

Subsequent trials have led to the convictions of two men for Fields’ murder: Ty Chaneyfield was handed a life sentence, while Jimmie Green received a 40-year prison term.

Prosecutors have said Fields and his friends were not the people Green and Chaneyfield were targeting, making it an apparent case of mistaken identity.

 Solicitor Duffie Stone said in 2022 that Jayden and Shayniah Void allegedly informed Green that someone he was looking for, an “opp,” or opposition, that he wanted revenge on for shooting up his house, was in the area. Green was reportedly looking for someone else, not Fields.

Jayden was facing assault and battery by mob charges in connection to Fields death. His sister shares the same charges.

Shayniah is still in jail, awaiting court.
