Wayne Alexander Caldwell was 42 when he was shot and killed in his hometown of Chester, South Carolina, on the evening of Saturday, October 9, 2021. The Chester County Coroner confirmed his death was a homicide. The shooting took place in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Chester on Starnes Street near Ashford Street after an altercation at a neighborhood block party escalated. Caldwell suffered gunshot wounds to his head and body.

A suspect from Chester, identified as Sundrez Dashaune Gregory, was arrested and charged in connection with the shooting; he was held at the county jail and denied bond during his initial court appearance. A stand-your-ground immunity claim by the defense was later denied by a judge.

Does anyone have information about the block party or the altercation that led to this fatal shooting?
