On September 12, 2020, two people were found shot to death inside a home on Kalmia Apartments Lane in Graniteville, South Carolina. The victims were identified as 43-year-old Lacy Boyd and 51-year-old Robert A. Finch. Both deaths were described as homicides by gunshot.

Investigators focused on Robert Finch’s brother, Thomas Finch, as the primary suspect. A subsequent manhunt ended when deputies from the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office located Thomas Finch at a barricaded location. After repeated attempts at de-escalation, deputies shot and killed him during the standoff.

The killings and the fatal confrontation left the community reeling and closed the immediate search for a suspect; many questions about motive and the events leading up to the violence remain unanswered. Anyone with information about Lacy Boyd, Robert Finch, or the events of September 12, 2020 is asked to come forward.
