Ankee Pendergrass, 22, was shot multiple times and later died after being found in a yard at the corner of Saluda and Foote streets in Chester, South Carolina. The shooting happened just before 11 p.m. on Thursday, November 16, 2017, as Pendergrass was walking home from his grandmother’s house. He was taken to Chester Regional Medical Center and then airlifted to a hospital in Charlotte, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Investigators canvassed the area and received reports of six gunshots and a neighbor who saw three people leave a nearby house, get into a car, and drive away. Police found a BMW with apparent bullet holes through the windshield near the scene but concluded the vehicle was not directly involved. At the time he was killed, court records show Pendergrass was out on bond for weapons and drug charges, though no motive had been identified.

The Chester Police Department and the Chester County Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit opened a homicide investigation and appealed for information, but no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Ankee or has information about that night, please come forward.
