A planned gun sale in Seneca ended in deadly violence on the evening of November 8, 2020. Zema Darnell Fling, 17, and 20-year-old Christopher Hunter Todd of Pickens met on Tribble Street shortly after 7 p.m.; gunfire was reported and both sustained fatal gunshot wounds to the chest. Officers found one victim on the ground and the other on the opposite side of the road. The Oconee County Coroner’s Office identified the two men, and police reported that one was pronounced dead at the scene while Fling died in an ambulance en route to the hospital.

Seneca police say the meeting had been arranged for the purchase of a firearm and that the transaction turned violent. The interim police chief at the time indicated there were no outstanding suspects because both participants in the planned sale were deceased. Does anyone have information about either man or recalls activity on Tribble Street that night?
