Charles Adam Timmons was 26 when he was shot and killed during his shift as a security guard at the Platinum Plus gentleman’s club in Greenville, South Carolina. The shooting occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, February 11, 2014, after a dispute with a patron who allegedly refused to pay for services. The disagreement escalated into a physical confrontation between the patron, identified as Jose Luis Acevedo-Lopez of Duncan, and security staff; a single gunshot struck Timmons and he later died, the Greenville County Coroner’s Office ruling the death a homicide.

The Greenville County Sheriff’s Office investigated and Acevedo-Lopez was arrested and charged with murder. By June 2015 the case remained pending in the courts; public reports do not provide a final disposition or sentence. If anyone witnessed the incident at the club that night or has information about what happened during the confrontation, please come forward.
