On July 5, 2019, Michael Jason Deck, 45, was shot and killed inside the Walmart on White Horse Road in Greenville, South Carolina. Deck sustained fatal gunshot wounds to his head and torso after a dispute with a man he knew; the shooting occurred on a busy summer afternoon and sent shoppers fleeing.

Police located and arrested 33-year-old Braylon Lamar Morris shortly after the shooting, charging him with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. Authorities described the killing as the result of an ongoing personal conflict between the two men. At a bond hearing Morris was denied bond and, in a tense exchange with Deck’s father, admitted to the killing while stating he had warned Deck he would retaliate.

The case was scheduled for trial in Greenville County in October 2022. In June 2022 Morris was convicted on multiple drug and weapons charges in Pickens County and sentenced to 28 years for those offenses. Does anyone have information about Deck’s life in Greenville or witnessed the events at the White Horse Road Walmart?
