Detrick Gibbons, 36, was shot in the early hours of Friday, September 11, 2020, at a roadside hotel in Florence County near the intersection of Highway 76 and Interstate 95. Deputies found him wounded inside the Florence Inn & Suites around 5:15 a.m.; he was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead by coroner Keith Von Lutcken. Gibbons had grown up in Florence and was known to family by the nickname Dolford.

Florence County investigators returned repeatedly to the hotel, also described as being on Bancroft Road, as they worked to piece together what happened.

If anyone has information about who was at the hotel that morning or what led to the shooting, please share what is known.
