Rodney Gilmer was a 50-year-old paramedic in Anderson, South Carolina, who was shot and killed at his home on Whirlaway Circle on the evening of February 18, 2019. He was transported to AnMed Health Medical Center but died of a gunshot wound to the abdomen less than an hour after arrival. At the time of the shooting he was in the house with a woman he had been romantically involved with, and the incident was reported as a domestic dispute.

Because of Gilmer’s professional and personal ties within the local emergency services community, the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office transferred the investigation to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division for impartial handling. Family members, including his sister and mother, have publicly expressed grief and frustration while seeking answers and closure.

If anyone knew Rodney or has information about events at the Whirlaway Circle residence on February 18, 2019, please share what you know.
