Jerome Danta’ Palmer was 26 when he was fatally shot in Columbia, South Carolina, on January 13, 2018. Known to family and friends as Rome, he was born on September 22, 1991, and remembered as warmhearted, caring and loyal — someone who could bring a smile or a laugh to others.

The shooting followed an argument at an apartment complex. The man accused of firing the fatal shot was Bobby Ray Robbins, then 21, and Palmer was in a relationship with Robbins’ sister. Officers say Robbins fled the scene; they apprehended him shortly afterward while he was running and saw him discard a handgun that was later recovered. Robbins was booked at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center and charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.

Does anyone have information about the argument or knew Jerome as Rome and can share details that might help clarify what happened?
