A dispute in the early morning hours of May 30, 2021, in a Greenville, South Carolina convenience store parking lot ended in gunfire and the death of 54-year-old Willie Smallwood Jr. The exchange took place shortly before 1:00 a.m. in the QT on Grove Road parking lot, and the Greenville County Coroner’s Office pronounced Smallwood dead at the scene.

Deputies located a vehicle believed related to the shooting and pursued it to a second QT on Woodruff Road. The driver, 30-year-old Brandon Tyquawn Boozer, was seen throwing a firearm from the vehicle during the chase, was stopped at the Woodruff Road lot, attempted to run and was taken into custody. Boozer was charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime; authorities say the shooting resulted from the earlier altercation. The specifics of what sparked the dispute have not been released.

Did anyone who was in either QT parking lot that morning see what started the fight or the shooting?
