Kurt Russell Scholl was 36 when he was found shot multiple times at a residence on Racetrack Road in Hartsville, South Carolina, on December 9, 2019. A Michigan native who ran an automotive repair business in Hartsville, he was described as kind and passionate about working on vehicles.

Authorities identified and apprehended 36-year-old Fred Ray Harris III in nearby Chesterfield County. Investigators say Harris shot Scholl, stole a vehicle the same day, and was hospitalized for an injury that occurred before the shooting. Harris was charged with murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and grand larceny. A jury convicted Harris of murder after about three hours of deliberation; the judge added six months for contempt of court and imposed a 45-year sentence with no possibility of parole.

Does anyone have information about Scholl’s business, comings and goings around December 2019, or the Racetrack Road neighborhood that could shed light on what happened?
