On May 9, 2015, 24-year-old Jerry Wayne Fernandez of Cowpens, South Carolina, was fatally shot near the intersection of Old Pacolet Road and Wood Street after an earlier argument with his cousin, Bernard Dewberry, about a woman. Fernandez managed to make a 911 call after being shot and identified Dewberry as his shooter. Eyewitnesses at the scene also placed Dewberry there, and investigators developed the case against him.

Bernard Dewberry was arrested and charged in connection with Fernandez’s death. During his murder trial Dewberry interrupted proceedings and pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter; the court accepted the plea and sentenced him to 25 years in prison, with a requirement that he serve at least 85 percent of that term before becoming eligible for release.

If anyone knew Jerry, was at the scene, or has information about the events leading up to the shooting, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
