On the evening of January 23, 2021, 17-year-old Zyon KyReece Lamont Minton was shot multiple times in a yard on Byars Street in Rock Hill, South Carolina. He and his 18-year-old friend, Digarian Foster, were described by police as ambushed; both were taken to Piedmont Medical Center and died of their injuries. Zyon was a student at Northwestern High School; family and a teacher remembered him as cheerful and working toward graduation shortly before he was killed.

Authorities said the attack was tied to street retribution after Foster allegedly cooperated with police in an earlier investigation. Police said the shooters were people the victims had known for years and that the killings were connected to an apparent attempt by one suspect to join the Bloods. Within a month, three teenagers were arrested; two, Jon'Tarius Delmone Reid and Kelvin Barnette Jr., were charged with murder and a third, John'Quavius L. Kelly, was identified as the alleged shooter. In February 2023 Kelly pleaded guilty to two counts of voluntary manslaughter under an Alford plea and received a 15-year sentence with credit for time served. The murder charges against Reid and Barnette remained pending.

Did anyone in Rock Hill know Zyon or Digarian and have information about who was involved or what led up to that evening?
