On the evening of October 26, 2017, 26-year-old Justin Kale Penland was shot in Rock Hill, South Carolina, after a pickup truck he was driving crashed into a parked car and an apartment building at Mallard Pointe Apartments on Eden Terrace. He was taken to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte but did not survive.

Investigators say the shooting occurred during a drug deal that turned into an attempted robbery. Authorities arrested several suspects: 20-year-old Isaiah Hemphill was identified as the alleged shooter and faced charges including murder and attempted armed robbery; two 17-year-olds, Donovan Allen and Shaun Welte, were charged with attempted armed robbery, accessory after the fact to murder, and possession with intent to distribute marijuana; and 19-year-old Johnte Kaheem Williams was also arrested and charged with murder and related offenses. Allen and Welte are accused of using a car to block Penland’s vehicle, and Allen is alleged to have later painted the vehicle used in the incident.

Does anyone have information about Penland, his movements that night, or the people involved that could help clarify what happened?
