Larry Dontaye Joyner, 37, was fatally shot on April 23, 2022, in a residential area of Florence, South Carolina. The Florence County Coroner’s Office ruled his death a homicide after a single gunshot wound proved fatal and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to investigators, the incident began that evening when 23-year-old Nathaniel Drequan Fore allegedly asked Joyner for a ride. When Joyner refused, an argument reportedly escalated and Fore produced a firearm and shot Joyner. Fore was identified by the Florence Police Department as the primary suspect, arrested, and charged with murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. He was booked into the Florence County Detention Center pending legal proceedings.

The case centers on how a refusal to provide a ride turned into a deadly shooting. Does anyone have information about that neighborhood or the people involved that could add context to what happened?
