Kornell Willis, 29, was fatally shot on July 14, 2020, inside an apartment at the Gable Oaks Apartments on Colleton Street in Columbia, South Carolina. A resident flagged down a Columbia Police Department officer, who found Willis lying on the apartment floor. The Richland County Coroner determined Willis died of multiple gunshot wounds.

A 29-year-old woman, Leona Toatley, was at the scene and initially refused entry to officers. After an officer opened the door, officers removed Willis from the apartment and provided aid until EMS arrived. Police described the shooting as domestic-related and said Willis and Toatley were acquaintances. Toatley was arrested, taken to Columbia Police Department headquarters for questioning, charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and booked at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center.
