Father of Deceased Colleton County Fifth Grader Seeks Answers

Press Conference Scheduled for Monday April 1, 2019 at 11am

Charleston, South Carolina – March 29, 2018 – Attorneys David Aylor and Mark Peper issued the following statement on behalf of Jermaine Van Dyke, the father of 10-year-old Raniya Wright, who died of injuries sustained from a fight at Forest Hills Elementary School in Walterboro.

“To date, Jermaine Van Dyke has been provided no pertinent information from school officials or local law enforcement regarding the death of his daughter while in the custody and care of the school district. Rightfully so, he is distraught and frustrated by their lack of communication and refusal to allow him access to any videos or investigative findings related to this matter.  Mr. Van Dyke would like to thank the community for their support and prayers during these very difficult times and vows to fight for the answers his family and this community deserves,” said attorney David Aylor.

A press conference will be held Monday April 1^stat 11:00am at the front of the Forest Hills Elementary School at which time the attorneys will update the community on the results of their investigation and present Mr. Van Dyke for brief comments.
