A workplace dispute in Newberry, South Carolina, turned deadly in the early hours of a Tuesday in October 2019. Javoka JeKel Toland, 22, was found unresponsive in the Valmont Industries parking lot after deputies answered a call of shots fired. He was pronounced dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds.

Authorities focused on a coworker, 23-year-old Shunolon McKenize Renwick, after investigators learned the two had an ongoing dispute rooted in neighborhood associations that had spilled into their workplace. Reports say Toland brandished a firearm then returned it to his vehicle; Renwick reportedly retrieved his own handgun, chased Toland across the parking lot, and shot him eight times. Renwick later turned himself in and was arrested on murder and firearm charges.

What details about the lead-up to the shooting or witnesses at Valmont Industries might still help explain how the dispute escalated to gunfire?
