Zachary Kyle Whitley was 31 when he was shot fatally in the front yard of a residence on Eastview Road in Pelzer, South Carolina, on the evening of April 17, 2016. The Greenville County Coroner’s Office ruled a single gunshot wound to the chest as the cause of death. Three other people were seriously injured in the same incident.

Investigators quickly determined the attack was not a random act or a home invasion; witnesses said the victims knew their assailants. Authorities believed the shooting grew out of a dispute over money or a drug transaction. In the immediate aftermath, three male suspects were sought: one in his early twenties with a slender face wearing jeans and a black cutoff t-shirt; one with long, blonde-dyed dreadlocks wearing a green and yellow Bob Marley jacket; and a third with dreadlocks seen in a white hat and shirt. Witnesses reported the men fled in a mid- to late-2000s silver four-door Toyota with tinted windows driven by a woman with short, heavy-set hair.
