CONWAY, SC — An Horry County jury has found a Gresham man not guilty in a 2021 shooting that injured a 10‑month‑old child, according to Fifteenth Circuit Solicitor Jimmy Richardson.

Dajuan Tyreek Surrency, 29, was acquitted Thursday afternoon after jurors deliberated for about an hour, said Senior Assistant Solicitor Natale Corsi, who prosecuted the case alongside Assistant Solicitor Adam Harrelson for the Fifteenth Circuit Solicitor’s Office.

Surrency was found not guilty of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. The trial began Monday with jury selection and continued through several days of witness testimony before concluding Thursday.

The charges stemmed from a December 2021 drive‑by shooting in the Conway area, where a bullet entered a home and struck a 10‑month‑old child. The child survived after being hospitalized. Investigators were unable to recover the vehicle or the firearm involved, and the identity of the person who fired the shot remained a central issue throughout the case.
