Ricky Antoine Taylor, 34, was found dead on December 9, 2018, on Brelands Road, a secluded dirt road near Holly Hill, South Carolina. What was first reported as a single-vehicle accident turned into a homicide inquiry when investigators discovered Taylor and another man, 29-year-old Michael Laprince Pinckney, inside a 2004 Chevrolet Impala with injuries inconsistent with a crash.

The South Carolina Highway Patrol’s initial response was followed by the Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office, and the Orangeburg County Coroner’s Office determined both men died of gunshot wounds. The case was ruled a double homicide, but investigators have not released further specifics while the probe remains active.

No arrests or public identifications of suspects have been announced. If anyone has information about Taylor, Pinckney, the vehicle, or activity on Brelands Road around December 9, 2018, please contact the Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office.
