The morning of May 9, 2017, in the I'On neighborhood of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, ended in the fatal shooting of 66-year-old Robert William Simpson. A native of London who had lived in the Charleston area since 1975 and worked in the film industry, Simpson was described as a well-known member of his community.The first account given to police came from his daughter, Brittany Simpson, who said an intruder had broken into the home and shot her father.

Investigators found that narrative inconsistent and uncovered evidence indicating Brittany had fired the fatal shot. Authorities reported she tried to hide her involvement by bundling the clothes she wore and the pistol into a backpack and attempting to submerge it in a nearby creek.The family had a history of disturbances connected to Brittany’s long-term mental-health struggles, including multiple calls to law enforcement and her recent eviction from the home days before the shooting.

Does anyone have information about the household dynamics in the days leading up to May 9, 2017?
