A dispute among acquaintances in Columbia, South Carolina, ended in a double homicide on February 7, 2019. Responding to 911 calls just after 9 a.m., officers found 23-year-old Antonio Deandre Dash and 24-year-old Eric Griffin unresponsive inside an apartment at Willow Run Apartments on Alcott Drive. Both men had sustained gunshot wounds to their upper bodies and were pronounced dead at the scene; the Richland County Coroner’s Office later attributed their deaths to complications from those wounds.

Police arrested 24-year-old Antonio Vashon Barnes later that day and said he was a roommate to one of the victims. Investigators described an argument among the three men that escalated into a physical altercation before the shooting. Barnes was charged with two counts of murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime and was booked into the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center.

Antonio Deandre Dash was remembered in his obituary as a loving son, brother, and friend who enjoyed football and basketball. Does anyone have information about the events at Willow Run Apartments that morning or knew Antonio Dash?
