Two people were killed in a home invasion-style shooting in Columbia, South Carolina, on September 30, 2018. Two-year-old Tyren Williams and his 23-year-old father, James Antheny McDowell, were found with fatal gunshot wounds at their residence on Beatty Downs Road. McDowell was located outside the home; Tyren was found inside.

Investigators described the attack as a drug-related robbery and said the home appeared to have been targeted. Three suspects — Traevon Ray, Markelyis Gibson, and DyQuan King — were arrested and charged with two counts of murder each in connection with the double homicide. King was later linked to another deadly shooting that happened days earlier.

Public reports do not make clear the final legal outcomes for the three charged in the Beatty Downs Road killings. Does anyone have verified information about the case disposition or knew Tyren or his family and can share details?
