In the early morning of January 10, 2020, a planned robbery in Greenville, South Carolina, escalated into gunfire that left 25-year-old Jalen Takis Mayes dead. The shooting occurred at Piney Mountain Park on Worley Road; Mayes was taken to North Greenville Hospital in Travelers Rest and died shortly after arrival.

Investigators linked Mayes’s shooting to a related death less than a mile away. Twenty-one-year-old Shunqavious Boyette Fisher was found dead in a vehicle at the Azalea Place Apartments. Authorities say the two shootings arose from a single altercation: an 18-year-old woman, Halen Mullinax, allegedly drove Mayes to confront occupants of another vehicle. Mayes, wearing a mask, reportedly held a gun to one person’s head; that person, who was armed, shot Mayes, and Mayes then returned fire, fatally wounding Fisher.

Mullinax was arrested and charged with armed robbery with a deadly weapon and criminal conspiracy. The Sheriff’s Office stated they did not anticipate further charges in connection with the incident. Does anyone have information about the people involved or the events that night?
