Suspect surrenders in Anderson County shooting death of 18-year-old
An 18-year-old was shot dead on Tribble Street, and within six days police had named a 19-year-old suspect who turned himself in.
Jameek Suber was shot to death on Tribble Street in Anderson before 2:30 a.m., and six days later the suspect named in the case turned himself in. Anderson police identified 19-year-old Mondreques Daquan Pickens as the man wanted in the killing, then charged him with murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. The quick move from an overnight homicide scene to a surrender in custody pushed the case into court while detectives kept the motive under wraps.
First responders were called to Tribble Street on Saturday, June 13, 2026, after reports of a shooting. They found Suber, who was 18 and from Anderson, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. The Anderson County Coroner’s Office said he was pronounced dead at the scene and ruled the death a homicide. Officials also said the incident was isolated and that there was no immediate threat to the public. The Anderson Fire Department and Medshore Ambulance Service assisted in the response.
By Thursday, June 18, police said Pickens had voluntarily turned himself in to authorities. The timeline was stark: a fatal shooting in the early morning hours, a suspect identified by investigators, and a surrender before the week was out. Police have not released a motive, leaving the case in the familiar early stage where the name is public but the why is still sealed inside the investigation.
Pickens was held ahead of a bond hearing set for 4 p.m. Friday, June 19, at Anderson Municipal Court, and bond was later denied. That keeps the case moving through the legal system while the Anderson County Coroner’s Office and the Anderson Police Department continue their investigation. Anyone with information has been asked to contact the Anderson Police Department.
What started before 2:30 a.m. on Tribble Street had already reached a courtroom by Friday, but the unanswered questions around Suber’s killing remain the part that still has to be tested in court.
