The small community of Pickens, South Carolina, was shaken on June 11, 2019, when Tracey Gillespie Nix, 59, was found inside her Allgood Bridge Road home with two gunshot wounds to her upper torso. Deputies arrived to find her alive and transported her to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The autopsy determined the fatal wounds were from a small-caliber weapon.

Authorities focused their investigation on Tracey’s husband, 63-year-old Gregory Benson Nix, the only other person in the home when deputies responded. A .22-caliber handgun was recovered at the residence. Gregory Nix was arrested, charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime, booked into the Pickens County Detention Center and denied bond. The sheriff’s preliminary review found no prior domestic calls between the couple. Tracey had worked as a barber and stylist with Head First for 25 years and was active in Mt. Bethel United Methodist Church; she is survived by her husband, two sons and two grandchildren.

Does anyone from Pickens recognize this case or have information about the days leading up to June 11, 2019?
