On October 29, 2013, a mass shooting at a home on Callison Highway in Greenwood County left five people dead, including 9-year-old William Asa Robinson. The attack was carried out by Bryan Eugene Sweatt and was tied to a dispute over custody of a 7-month-old daughter Sweatt shared with his girlfriend, Chandra Marie Fields.

Victims included Chandra Fields, her parents Richard Allen Fields and Melissa Maroney Fields, and her two nephews, William Asa Robinson and his 11-year-old brother Tariq Kenyon Robinson. The victims were found in different parts of the house: the grandparents in their bedroom and bathroom area, the two boys in a bedroom, and Chandra Fields and Sweatt in the den. Authorities reported Sweatt used a large-caliber handgun in the killings.

Investigators noted Sweatt had an extensive criminal record but said there had been no documented history of domestic violence, and no prior indication he would commit such an act. The surviving children, including the infant at the center of the custody dispute, were placed with family members.

Does anyone have information about the family’s life in the Bradley area or memories to share about William and his brother?
