In the early morning hours of August 4, 2018, 38-year-old Rebecca Nicole Haenning was found with a gunshot wound to her torso in her Greenville, South Carolina home on Albain Circle. Deputies responded to a shots-fired call around 12:35 a.m.; Haenning was taken to Greenville Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead a short time later. Her live-in boyfriend, Rockford Lewis, initially reported by 911 that Haenning had shot herself after an argument and was heard pleading for her to live.

Investigators later questioned that account and, three days after the shooting, Lewis was arrested and charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. On August 16, 2021, Lewis pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and received a 13-year prison sentence. Lewis’s mother, Reva Shealy, was later arrested for making recorded threats to the prosecutor handling the case.

If anyone knew Rebecca or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know.
