Lawrence Burgess, 43, was killed in a drive-by shooting on Saint Helena Island, South Carolina, on the evening of June 10, 2020. Shortly before 10 p.m. gunfire was reported on Reunion Road; officers found Burgess in the yard of a home with gunshot wounds and paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. Shell casings recovered in the road and witness statements indicate shots came from a passing vehicle that fled the scene.

An autopsy was scheduled at the Medical University of South Carolina to determine the precise cause of death. The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office has been interviewing witnesses and seeking a description of the vehicle, but no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified.

If anyone saw activity on Reunion Road that night or has information about the vehicle involved, please come forward.
