Antonio Heath was killed on the evening of November 24, 2014, in the breezeway of the Deerfield Run Apartments off India Hook Road in Rock Hill, South Carolina. He was 41 and a father of seven; friends and family remember him as a beloved family man who liked to joke and make people laugh. He had stepped outside, believed to be for a cigarette, when two men wearing camouflage jackets and carrying handguns approached and opened fire. The gunshots also pierced his apartment door; his wife and children inside were not harmed.

A neighbor and longtime friend heard the shooting and rushed to Heath’s side, holding him while help arrived. He was taken to Piedmont Medical Center and later died of his wounds. Investigators with the Rock Hill Police Department have treated the death as a homicide and continued to pursue leads. Few other public details of the attack have been released and the motive remains unclear.

If anyone has information about that night or the men seen at Deerfield Run Apartments, please come forward to assist the investigation.
