On the evening of August 26, 2015, 56-year-old Anthony Patterson was shot and killed after being lured into a residence on Gretta Lane in Orangeburg County, near the Calhoun County line. Patterson was struck in the upper body and died at the scene; another person who was with him survived the attack.

Investigators say the crime was carried out during an armed robbery and quickly focused on a family pair: 48-year-old Darrin Houser of St. Matthews and his 24-year-old nephew, Jeremy Houser of Orangeburg. Both men left the state after the shooting but were located and returned to South Carolina — Darrin Houser was tracked to Washington D.C. and extradited two days after the shooting, and Jeremy Houser was brought back on September 9. Darrin Houser was charged with murder and first-degree burglary; Jeremy Houser was charged with murder.

Did anyone in the area know Patterson or have information about who else might have been involved that night?
