On the afternoon of May 10, 2016, a family argument at a home on Oak Glenn Drive in Gaston, South Carolina ended with the death of 24-year-old Heirbrane Will Foster. The dispute, reportedly over a barbeque grill, escalated after Foster’s father, Heirberone Heava Foster, went inside the house and returned minutes later with a pump-action shotgun. Witnesses said Heirberone Foster approached his son in the driveway, aimed the shotgun at his chest, and fired a single, fatal shot. Emergency responders pronounced Heirbrane Foster dead at the scene.

At the time of his death Heirbrane Foster was out on a $10,000 bond on narcotics charges from a police chase the month before. Deputies arrested Heirberone Foster at a nearby home; he was charged with murder, possession of a firearm during a violent crime, and illegally possessing a firearm because of a prior felony conviction, and his record included prior convictions for domestic violence, assault and battery, and disorderly conduct.

The killing left unanswered questions about what provoked the shooting and about family dynamics leading up to that afternoon. If anyone knew Heirbrane Foster, his movements that day, or the family’s situation, please share information with investigators.
