Carolyn Dawkins Sims, 72, was killed on Holloway Street in Newberry, South Carolina, late one Saturday evening in September 2020 when a stray bullet struck her as she was getting out of her vehicle. Police reports say a car and a truck were engaged in a shootout; Sims told officers what had happened before being rushed to Prisma Health Richland Trauma Center, where she went into cardiac arrest en route and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Within days the Newberry Police Department arrested four people in connection with the shooting: 22-year-old Terrance Christopher Dukquan Abrams, 29-year-old Kiddiocus Dajohn Johnson, 17-year-old Oshavius Markeis Johnson (to be charged as an adult), and a 16-year-old juvenile. The group faced charges including murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and breach of peace of a high and aggravated nature. Authorities said the investigation was ongoing and additional arrests were possible.

Did anyone in Newberry witness that shootout or have information about the movements of those vehicles that night?
