Don Russell Rusty Turner, 27, was shot dead at his family home on Whiteside Drive in Chesnee on the night of Wednesday, July 27, 2016. His grandmother heard gunfire about 10:20 p.m., found him gravely wounded in the yard, and Spartanburg County Coroner Rusty Clevenger pronounced him dead at the scene; the cause of death was listed as internal hemorrhage from gunshot wounds. Neighbors reported hearing the shots but saw little, and investigators initially said they had no substantial leads.

On August 22, 2016, deputies named Michael Ham of Gaffney as the primary suspect, charging him with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and charged Tiffany Kirby of Chesnee as an accessory after the fact. Court and corrections records show a man identified as Michael David Ham later admitted to or was convicted of voluntary manslaughter tied to a late July 2016 Spartanburg County offense and received a 30-year sentence.

Does anyone have memories, tips, or information about Whiteside Drive that night or about Rusty’s case that could fill the remaining gaps?
