Shy’heem Kalil Clemons was 19 when he was shot at Anderson Mall in Anderson, South Carolina on July 9, 2022, and died the next day, July 10, 2022. A T. L. Hanna High School graduate, he was studying engineering and playing football at Greensboro College with ambitions to reach Division I and the NFL. The Anderson County Coroner’s Office confirmed the shooting as the cause of death.

Police say the shooting followed a confrontation with two people at the mall. Investigators arrested 20-year-old Emilio Tyleekus Que Robinson after he turned himself in; Robinson was charged with murder and with possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. Clemons’ mother, Khalilah Gray, later filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the mall owners alleging inadequate security and pointing to prior criminal activity at the site.

If anyone knew Shy’heem or has information about the shooting or mall security concerns, please come forward with what you know.
