On the afternoon of February 26, 2019, Malik Khalil McCullough, 23, was found dead in the front seat of a Chevrolet Impala that had crashed into a fence at Chestnut Street and Jones Avenue in Rock Hill, South Carolina. His friend, 20-year-old Zuinquarius McCrorey, was also found in the front seat with fatal gunshot wounds. What began as a reported car accident quickly became a double homicide investigation when both men were discovered to have been shot.

Investigators say the shooter was 16-year-old Sam Saadiq Robinson, who had been in the back seat and shot both victims in the back of the head. The day before, Robinson allegedly fired shots at McCullough’s home. He was later found in Charlotte, North Carolina, where his family had taken him and was returned to South Carolina to face adult charges. The motive was reported as Robinson’s desire to gain status in the Crips, and he had bragged about the affiliations and the killings.

Robinson pleaded guilty to two counts of murder and multiple weapons charges and was sentenced to 50 years in March 2021. Did anyone in Rock Hill know Malik or Zuinquarius, or have information about events in the days before February 26, 2019?
