Kenneth Red Young, 61, was shot in the upper body in the parking lot of a Family Dollar on Fairfield Road in Columbia, South Carolina, on June 21, 2020 shortly before 8:30 a.m. He was taken to Prisma Health Richland hospital but died of his injuries.

Columbia Police were alerted by a ShotSpotter notification and later focused their investigation on a nearby Super 8 motel. That same day officers stopped a vehicle leaving the motel and arrested 27-year-old Gregory Edwards, Jr. A firearm recovered from the vehicle was seized for ballistic testing. Edwards was booked into the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center on charges including murder, possession of a firearm by a person convicted of a crime of violence, and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. The motive remained under investigation.

Does anyone who was near Fairfield Road that morning or who has information about activities at the Super 8 motel have details to share?
