Late on a Saturday night in Pelzer, South Carolina, 62-year-old Terry Lee Lollis was shot after investigating a nearby crash on State 418. A vehicle had hit a telephone pole and was on fire; the driver, 19-year-old Dmarrion Jaquay Gilmore, exited the wreck, argued with bystanders and produced a firearm after one witness produced a bat. Lollis rode his ATV from his home to see what was happening, began to turn away when he saw Gilmore with the gun, and was struck by gunfire as he retreated.

Lollis was taken to a local hospital but died during surgery the next morning. Officers and K-9 units later found and arrested Gilmore in a nearby field. Investigators say Gilmore had also taken car keys from two Good Samaritans and forced them at gunpoint into a dance barn. Gilmore was charged in connection with the shooting.

Did anyone in Pelzer witness the crash or the confrontation that night and can add details about what led up to the shooting?
