On February 1, 2017, 55-year-old Malcolm Kindred Kemmerlin — known to friends and family as Kenny — was fatally shot at a residence on Francis Marion Road in Florence, South Carolina. Emergency responders took him to a local hospital, where Florence County Coroner Keith von Lutcken later confirmed he died of his injuries. The Florence County Sheriff’s Office opened an immediate investigation and at first asked the public for help locating a primary suspect described as armed and dangerous.

Investigators identified 40-year-old Michael Joe Smith as the shooter and charged him with murder. Smith was tried in a four-day trial, convicted by a jury, and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Did anyone in the Florence area know Malcolm Kindred Kemmerlin or have information about events at that Francis Marion Road residence?
