Shakez Bracey was 17 when he was reported missing from Bishopville, South Carolina, on Friday, September 26, 2014. A search ended when his body was found on Tuesday, September 30, 2014, in a wooded area off Old English Lane. The Lee County Sheriff’s Department determined Bracey had been shot to death.

Investigators say the killing stemmed from a dispute over money and involved family members. Authorities believe Bracey was led into the woods on the night he disappeared by his 18-year-old cousin, Dontrell Fortune, and three other people, and was fatally shot. Dontrell Fortune was then shot and killed the next morning, Saturday, September 27, 2014.

Arrests followed in both killings. For Bracey’s murder, police arrested Oszhane Simon and two 16-year-old minors, Markel and Darren Fortune, who were to be charged as adults. Several people were also charged in Dontrell Fortune’s death, and others were arrested on accessory after the fact counts. Did anyone in Bishopville see or hear anything that night on Old English Lane that could help clarify what happened?
