Daniel Quentin Grooms, 25, of Wallace, South Carolina, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of January 21, 2015, at a residence on Level Green Church Road in the Wallace area of Marlboro County. He was at the home of his girlfriend, Valerie Pernell, when her ex-boyfriend, Tony Maundrell Kastelan, arrived and a confrontation between Grooms and Kastelan escalated into an exchange of gunfire. Deputies from the Marlboro County Sheriff’s Office found Grooms deceased inside the home.

Investigators identified Tony Maundrell Kastelan as the primary suspect; he fled after the shooting and was later arrested and charged in connection with the fatal shooting. Two others were also taken into custody as the probe continued: Valerie Pernell was arrested and charged with accessory after the fact to murder, and Jermaine Terell Robinson was arrested and charged with accessory after the fact. Reports say both were alleged to have assisted Kastelan after the shooting.

Are there details about the timeline that anyone in the area remembers, or information about what happened immediately after the shooting that could shed light on the sequence of events?
