On January 1, 2020, a deer-driving hunt in woods off Barracada Road near Walterboro, South Carolina, ended in a double tragedy. Kim Daniel Drawdy, 30, and his 9-year-old daughter Lauren were part of a four-person hunting party. Around 2:30 p.m., another hunter in the group, later identified as Sean Peterson, reportedly mistook them for a deer and fired, striking both father and daughter with buckshot. Both were pronounced dead at the scene about half a mile into the woods.

The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources investigated the fatal shooting. The family remembered Kim as a devoted father who often hunted with Lauren, who loved accompanying him outdoors. In June 2024, Peterson pled guilty to two counts of negligent use of a firearm while engaged in hunting resulting in death and received a five-year prison sentence followed by four years of probation.

If anyone was in that area that day or has information about the hunting party, please share what is known.
