Dexter Diondre Lynah Jr. was 23 when he was shot and later died following a violent incident at Sure Shots pool hall and bar on Sniders Highway in Walterboro, South Carolina, in the early morning hours of July 30, 2022. Lynah, a recent South Carolina State University graduate who earned a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and received the Presidential Scholar Award for three consecutive years, was struck inside the crowded establishment after a dispute.

According to reports, 41-year-old Shannon Lamont Kinard became involved in an argument, left, retrieved a firearm from his vehicle and returned to open fire. Lynah was hit, attempted to flee through a backdoor into an outside courtyard, and—according to surveillance footage—fell with a broken femur, raised his hand in a gesture of surrender, and was shot again. He was struck four times and died at a hospital several hours later; another woman at the scene suffered a broken leg. Kinard turned himself in on August 3, 2022, was charged in the case, and the weapon used was later found near a fence line outside the pool hall.

Did anyone who knew Dexter or who was at Sure Shots that night see something that could still help clarify the sequence of events?
