During the early morning hours of Tuesday July 1, 2025, officers with the Darlington County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call at a home when shots were fired. Deputy Devin Mason, who graduated just this past March and joined the Darlington County Sheriff’s Office, was shot and killed in the exchange. “Mason was always smiling, he’d give you the shirt off his back,” shared his stepdad John. He is survived by his 2-month old son, Brooks, his fiancé, Madi, his mom, Shannon, and stepfather, John.
According to Sheriff Michael August, “Deputy Mason served the people of Darlington County with heart and honor. Though his time with us was far too short, his impact will not be forgotten.”
Because of generous supporters, we are able to fulfill our mission and increase our impact through the delivery of quality programs and services. When we work against one another, everybody loses. When we work together, over common ground, we make neighborhoods safer places to live, work, and thrive.
