Twenty-year-old Zaquan Shaquez Jamison stood in front of a judge in South Carolina after turning himself in for allegedly doing the unthinkable. But it’s what he told the judge during his arraignment that makes the case against him even more shocking and confusing.

“My parents are going to be filing a lawsuit because these hands can’t pull a trigger,” Jamison said referring to his only hand. He has been charged with murder, 10 counts of attempted murder and possession of a weapon while committing a violent crime, WLOX reported. But according to him, there’s no way he could’ve committed these atrocious acts.

In 2023, Jamison was caught in a nearly fatal car crash, AOL reported. The vehicle was engulfed in flames, and when the 20-year-old was pulled out, he was almost unrecognizable. As a consequence, Jamison suffered burns all over his body, most notably his head, face, neck and arms. The incident even resulted in him becoming a partial amputee.

The only hand he has left suffered extreme nerve damage, which according to him, would prevent him from firing a gun. “These hands can’t pull the trigger,” Jamison continued to the court. “They can’t even bend.”

Still, a warrant for his arrest was issued in connection to a deadly mass shooting in Santee, S.C. Back in January, 17-year-old Ja’Mareion Crawford was shot and killed. Ten others were also shot but survived, WLTX reported. Investigators hit a wall for months as no new information came in. Police then raised the award for any information regarding the shooting from $5,000 to $7,500 just two weeks ago. Last week, a warrant for Jamison was released.

This led Jamison to contact dispatchers and identify himself as the man wanted for the murder. He then turned himself in on Friday (Aug. 15). After a background check was conducted, Jamison was described as “armed and dangerous,” according to WCIV.

He was held at the Al Cannon Detention Center in North Charleston, S.C. and later transferred to the Santee Police Department.
