Matthew Frazier, 29, of Latta was found dead inside a residence on Bucksport Road in Bucksport, South Carolina, on February 14, 2020. Horry County police reported he had been dead for some time and that the death was caused by a gunshot wound, and the investigation was treated as a homicide.

Authorities identified 19-year-old Rakeem Fisher as a suspect. Three days after Frazier’s body was discovered, on February 17, 2020, Fisher was found dead; his death was ruled a suicide. Because the suspected shooter is also deceased, no charges were filed against him and the legal process did not proceed.

Investigators told the public there was no ongoing threat to the community, but the motive for the shooting and what happened in the moments before Frazier’s death remain unclear. If anyone has information about Matthew Frazier or the events in Bucksport that week, please come forward.
