Kenneth Andre Davis, 55, was killed in Florence, South Carolina on December 23, 2022. Police say the fatality followed an altercation in the early morning hours in which Davis was shot and later died of a gunshot wound.

Florence Police arrested Jerome Archie and charged him with manslaughter. Police reports state Davis had allegedly attacked Archie with a piece of rebar and that Archie shot Davis; the claim of self-defense is a central issue in the case.

Davis, born November 25, 1967, was a father and grandfather whose death deeply affected family and friends in the Florence community. If anyone has information about the incident or knew Davis, please share what you can.
