Brandon Logan Kilbourne was 20 when he was shot just after midnight on August 15, 2017, on the 4100 block of Hardscrabble Road in Columbia, South Carolina. Deputies from the Richland County Sheriff’s Department found him with a gunshot wound to his upper body; he was taken to Palmetto Health Richland Hospital and pronounced dead.

Kilbourne volunteered with the Lugoff Fire Department, having started as an explorer and training alongside other firefighters. Investigators detained one person for questioning overnight after the shooting, but that person was released and no charges were filed at the time. No public updates about arrests or identified suspects have been released, and the case remains unsolved. A memorial service was held at Living Springs Lutheran Church.

If anyone knew Brandon or has information about what happened that night, please share any details that could help the investigation.
