On March 21, 2022, at about 2:30 p.m., deputies from the Richland County Sheriff’s Department responded to a home on Cool Shade Drive in Eastover and found 47-year-old Trevis M. Finch with a fatal gunshot wound to his upper body. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene and the Richland County Coroner’s Office confirmed his identity.

The sheriff’s office opened a homicide investigation and has said the shooting was neither accidental nor self-inflicted. In the days and weeks after the killing investigators asked the public for information, but no suspects or persons of interest have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. The case remains open and active while Finch’s family and the community await answers.

If anyone has information about who was in the Cool Shade Drive home that afternoon or saw anything suspicious in Eastover on March 21, 2022, please come forward.
