Jeremy Lenard McMillan, 36, was fatally shot on February 20, 2022, in Lake City, South Carolina, in the vicinity of Lassie Street. Florence County Coroner Keith von Lutcken ruled the death a homicide. The shooting was one of two deaths the coroner’s office reported in the area within three days, contributing to a tense period for the community.

Lake City Police opened an investigation and named 32-year-old Daryl Lanell Epps as a person of interest, publicly seeking him for questioning about the circumstances of the fatal gunfire. As of the latest available update, no arrests have been reported and the investigation remains active.

McMillan’s past also drew attention after his death: he had been convicted in a 2006 nightclub shooting in Lee County that left two people dead and others injured; an appellate court ordered a new trial in 2012 and his convictions were reduced to voluntary manslaughter. He was released from prison in 2019. Has anyone in the Lake City area seen or heard anything that could help clarify what happened on Lassie Street?
