Anthony Gerard Kennedy, 49, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of November 7, 2019, at his home on Chatsworth Road in Columbia, South Carolina. Deputies from the Richland County Sheriff’s Department responded to a domestic call with a weapon around 1:00 a.m. and found Kennedy in the garage with a gunshot wound to his upper torso. Emergency medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene; an autopsy confirmed a single gunshot wound as the cause of death.

Investigators identified a shooter early in the inquiry but announced that no arrests had been made and the investigation remained ongoing.

Kennedy was a Keenan High School and South Carolina State University graduate, a marketing major and member of the Marching 101 Band. He owned Jaguar Picture and Sounds and Flower Station Florist, and was remembered as a devoted husband and father who never met a stranger.
