Sunshine Star Housey, 26, was shot and killed on April 21, 2015, outside the Colony Apartments along Bailey Street in Columbia, South Carolina. Police were first called just after 5:30 p.m. for a civil disturbance; arriving officers found a large group arguing and fighting when investigators say a gunman fired multiple rounds into the gathering. Housey was struck in the upper body and pronounced dead at the scene; another man was wounded and taken to a hospital.

Columbia police announced an arrest the next day. Curtis Long was taken into custody and charged with murder, plus attempted murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime in connection with the second victim. Authorities said Long was being held at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center while investigators continued interviewing witnesses and gathering information.

Funeral arrangements listed services at Zion Canaan Baptist Church, burial in Lincoln Cemetery, and a wake at Leevy’s Funeral Home. Housey was survived by her spouse, Dexter Isaac, and three children, Zetta J. Housey, Dexter Isaac Jr., and Za’Kayah R. Isaac, along with numerous family members and friends.
