On the evening of June 7, 2019, in Rock Hill, South Carolina, 55-year-old Timothy Barber was shot and killed while picking up custom-made cabinets for his blind father. Barber and his brother-in-law, 50-year-old Robin Thompson, were at a residence on Rivercrest Road when both were gunned down; Thompson was pronounced dead at the scene and Barber died later at Piedmont Medical Center. The attack has been described as a random act of violence.

Police identified 28-year-old Jimar Frazier Neely as the shooter. That same evening Neely was tied to a burglary and another shooting on Red River Road; deputies say he opened fire when they tried to stop his black Dodge Charger, leading to a pursuit and exchange of gunfire. Neely crashed, attempted to flee on foot, and was captured after sustaining a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. No deputies were injured.

Neely was charged with two counts of murder, attempted murder, burglary, and weapons offenses. At trial a doctor testified Neely, who has schizophrenia, had not been taking his medication and heard voices instructing him to shoot Barber and Thompson; a judge in a bench trial later found him not guilty by reason of insanity and committed him to a state mental health facility.

Did anyone in the Rock Hill area know Barber or Thompson, or have information about the June 7, 2019 incidents?
