Robert Eugene Shook Jr., 38, was shot on April 7, 2021, while working as an HVAC technician at the Rock Hill, South Carolina, home of Dr. Robert Lesslie. He and a colleague, James Lewis, were shot outside the house when former NFL player Phillip Adams approached and opened fire. Dr. Lesslie, his wife Barbara, and their two grandchildren, Adah and Noah, were fatally shot inside the home.

Despite being shot six times, Shook managed to call his supervisor, which led to the initial 911 report. He was airlifted to a Charlotte hospital, underwent multiple surgeries, and survived for several days before dying of his injuries on April 10, 2021, bringing the reported death toll to six.

Investigators identified Phillip Adams as the shooter; after a standoff at his nearby home he died by suicide. No further arrests were reported. If anyone knew Robert Shook Jr. or has information about that April 7 incident, please come forward.
