Who was Brent Conrad? What happened to Brent Conrad?

In a somber announcement, the Berkeley County Coroner’s Office identified 37-year-old Brent D. Conrad of Huger as the individual who lost his life in a sh**ting incident on Interstate 526 on September 8th. The incident involved a confrontation with two deputy sheriffs and occurred on the Wando River bridge section following a roughly 10-mile chase.

According to Sheriff Duane Lewis, Conrad initiated gunfire towards the deputies, prompting them to return fire. The situation escalated earlier that day around 11:30 a.m., when deputies at the intersection of Highways 41 and 17 noticed a dark-colored pickup truck, driven by Conrad, crash into two other vehicles in a hit-and-run event. The truck also attempted to strike an unmarked deputies’ vehicle, leading to a pursuit after Conrad refused to stop.

The high-speed chase lasted for about 10 minutes, covering approximately 10 miles, during which several more vehicles were hit. The chase came to a halt on the Wando River bridge, where gunfire was exchanged.

“We did not choose this situation. It was put on us, and the deputies had to react,” said Sheriff Lewis, acknowledging the complexity and tragedy of the event.

As of now, it remains unclear whether the deputies—comprising a supervising lieutenant and a detective—were responsible for Conrad’s death. An autopsy is scheduled for September 11th to ascertain the facts.

Multiple agencies, including the State Law Enforcement Division, the sheriff’s office, and the S.C. Highway Patrol, are actively investigating the unfortunate incident.
