Willie Troy Price Sr., 53, was killed in a reported drive-by shooting in Anderson, South Carolina, on the night of Wednesday, January 18, 2017. He was struck by gunfire inside a residence around 11 p.m., taken to AnMed Medical Health Center, and died in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Investigators with the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office noted another shooting about twenty minutes earlier nearby; they did not confirm a direct link but considered the possibility. Early investigative comments suggested the incident was likely connected to gang and drug activity, and authorities publicly questioned whether Price was the intended target.

The case remains unsolved and investigators have appealed for information that could identify a suspect or clarify the circumstances. If anyone knew Willie, was in that area that night, or has information about either shooting, please come forward.
