A card game at a Chesnee home ended in a fatal shooting on the early morning of Saturday, November 14, 2015. Shelby Elizabeth Sims, 23, was shot at her home on Overcreek Road and died from the wound. Reports say her husband, 25-year-old Jeremy Sims, had been drinking and smoking marijuana that night and was seen waving a handgun during the gathering; the gun discharged and struck Shelby. Her mother and her young son were in the house at the time and were not physically injured.

Shelby Elizabeth Wolfe Sims was born January 1, 1992, in Spartanburg and was a mother. Jeremy Sims was arrested and charged with murder and booked into the Spartanburg County jail after the shooting. Funeral services were held the following week at Shiloh Memorial Cemetery.

If anyone who attended that gathering or knew Shelby and her family has information that could help clarify exactly what happened that night, please come forward.
