David Whittington Oliver, 44, was shot and killed while riding his bicycle on the morning of May 9, 2021, near Rocky Slope Road and Sedly Road in Greenville, South Carolina. Known as Whit to friends and family, he was a former professional cyclist who had raced in Europe and was active in the Greenville cycling community. He also ran a sports nutrition cookie company and was a husband and father.

At about 11 a.m. Oliver placed a 911 call reporting he was being harassed and identified his assailant as Jeffrey Mark Murray, 62, of Greenville. Dispatchers heard gunfire during that call. Witnesses gave a description of the suspect and vehicle that helped police locate Murray’s car shortly afterward. When Murray exited the vehicle armed, officers confronted him and shot and killed him; both Oliver and Murray were pronounced dead at Prisma Health - Greenville Memorial Hospital.

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division was asked to investigate the officer-involved shooting, while the Greenville Police Department handled the investigation into Oliver’s murder. The officers involved were placed on administrative duty. Does anyone have information about Oliver’s final route that morning or witnesses who haven’t yet spoken to investigators?
