A summer evening at Biggerstaff Grocery on Farley Avenue in Spartanburg, South Carolina, ended in multiple shootings. On August 7, 2017, 21-year-old Raymond Turner died at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center from injuries sustained in the parking lot; 28-year-old Tyshann Rashad Smith was also killed at the scene and a third man suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to his arm.

Spartanburg police say the exchange was not random. Investigators concluded Smith shot Raymond Turner, and that 19-year-old Gettis Andre Chambers then fatally shot Smith. Officers recovered three different types of shell casings at the scene and used witness statements and video to reconstruct events. Chambers left the area, changed his appearance and went to Maryland, where he was arrested about two weeks later at a residence where firearms and illegal drugs were found.

Chambers was charged in connection with Smith’s death; plea and sentencing information is part of the case history. Does anyone have information about that night or about Raymond Turner’s life in Spartanburg?
