Forty-three-year-old Kenyatta Austin was found dead inside his Stiney Road mobile home in Hardeeville, South Carolina, on the morning of September 15, 2016. A neighbor who saw Austin’s front door open entered and discovered him lying face down between two couches with a single gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators focused on a single suspect, 22-year-old Kelly Lamont Anderson of Hardeeville, after finding Anderson’s cellphone inside Austin’s mobile home. Anderson was located and arrested at a nearby motel; his prior convictions included disorderly conduct in 2014 and shoplifting in 2016.

In December 2019 Anderson pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and received an 18-year prison sentence. The prosecutor noted the case ruined two families. Does anyone have further information about Kenyatta Austin’s life in Hardeeville or knew him personally?
