Channing Goodman, 46, was killed on December 31, 2022, in Sumter, South Carolina while trying to break up a fight between two women at a Hampton Avenue residence. First responders found Goodman in the front yard with a gunshot wound; he was taken to Prisma Health Tuomey and later died. The Sumter Police Department identified 23-year-old Amani Jalik Zahquad Kennedy of Fayetteville, North Carolina as a suspect. Kennedy fled after the shooting, an arrest warrant for murder was issued, and he surrendered to authorities in early January 2023 before being booked at the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office Detention Center. The police charged Kennedy with murder in connection with the incident.

Goodman’s death is described as occurring while he intervened to de-escalate a violent situation. Does anyone have information about Goodman, the Hampton Avenue residence, or the events that night that could help clarify what happened?
