Latonia Workman, a 34-year-old Black man known to some as Meatball, was fatally shot during a home invasion at his mother’s residence on Spinnaker Drive in Winnsboro, South Carolina. The killing occurred in the early hours of January 8, 2015, when three armed men forced their way into the house and held Workman’s mother captive while demanding money.

Workman arrived during the ordeal and was taken captive by the intruders as their demands escalated. At some point in the confrontation he was shot and killed; the three men then fled in Workman’s car, which was later found abandoned. The Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation but the case has gone cold: the three suspects have not been identified and no arrests have been announced.

Workman’s family and the Winnsboro community remain without answers. If anyone knew Latonia Workman, witnessed activity near Spinnaker Drive on January 8, 2015, or has information about the three men or the abandoned vehicle, please come forward.
