Rodriquez Williams, a Black/African American man from Estill, South Carolina, was shot and killed on May 22, 2020. National gun-violence records list his death simply as a life lost to gun violence in his hometown; an obituary from a nearby funeral home appears as the only external reference attached to that entry. Loved ones who contributed to his memorial remembered him by the nickname 4 digga and described him as outgoing, loving, and caring.

Estill is a small Lowcountry town of under two thousand people; Rodriquez’s killing is recorded alongside several other fatal shootings in the community over the past decade. Publicly accessible databases and memorial sites list his death but provide no published details about where in town the shooting occurred, what led up to it, who witnessed it, or whether a suspect was identified or charged.
