Portrait provenance

Orlando Shalrocko King, whose booking portrait appears on the individually named page 6 of the Ninth Circuit Solicitor’s Prosecution Review: Civil Unrest Cases, updated June 3, 2024. The original embedded photograph is preserved without enlargement, retouching or generated details; the surrounding document frame and text are not included. Source: Ninth Circuit Solicitor, South Carolina. A booking photograph is not evidence of guilt.

Birth-year evidence

Reported as 31 at his June 2, 2020 arrest in contemporaneous Live 5 News reporting. This supports birth in 1988 or 1989, not an exact birthday. The birth year is therefore recorded approximately as c. 1989.

The Ninth Circuit Solicitor’s case review, updated June 3, 2024, PDF pages 6, documents a distinct state disposition for Orlando Shalrocko King: Two counts of second-degree burglary (non-violent). Two years imposed July 12, 2022, concurrent with the federal sentence. No additional two-year custody counter; actual state admission and discharge unestablished. The underlying federal case and its separately supported dates remain unchanged. The review contains apparent date errors in some federal summaries; those are not used to replace the existing federal chronology.
