Upstate man arrested following overdose death
OCONEE COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) – An Upstate man was arrested Tuesday in relation to an overdose death reported in Oconee County. The Oconee County Sheriff's Office charged 35-year-old Akeem Olajuwon Chavezia Williams, of Central, with involuntary manslaughter following the overdose death of a 24-year-old Seneca man. On Sunday, March 30, deputies responded to a home on South Oak Pointe Drive near Lake Keowee after the victim was found dead in a room by a family member. Narcotics, including blue pressed pills, were also found in the room, according to the sheriff's office. Evidence gathered from the scene was sent to the sheriff's office for testing. It was determined by the Oconee County Coroner's Office that the deceased individual had fentanyl in his system. Other evidence obtained throughout the investigation identified Williams as a person of interest due to him supposedly selling the blue fentanyl pills to the victim on March 29. After consultations with the 10th Circuit Solicitor's Office, arrest warrants were obtained against Williams, according to deputies. He was booked into the Oconee County Detention Center, where he awaits bond. Deputies also charged the suspect with distribution of a controlled substance. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
