Jarvaris Montez Mook Clinkscales was 15 and a football player at Belton-Honea Path High School when he was fatally shot in the early hours of a Monday morning in Anderson, South Carolina, in the summer of 2006. The shooting occurred about 1:18 a.m. in the parking lot of a shopping center on Clemson Boulevard while the stores were closed. Clinkscales was struck by a shotgun blast, suffered multiple wounds, and was pronounced dead at Anderson Area Medical Center at 4:38 a.m. from a gunshot wound to the head. Six other people were wounded; their injuries were not considered life-threatening.

An investigation led to the arrest of Sammy Scott of Clemson. The prosecutor said Scott fired a shotgun multiple times into the crowded parking lot. A jury later found Scott guilty of murder, assault and battery with intent to kill, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime; he was sentenced to 55 years in prison. Scott’s sister, Birneda Scott, was charged as an accessory after the fact, and his mother, Sharon Oglesby, was charged with obstruction of justice. Clinkscales’s high school canceled a planned football mini-camp as the community mourned.

Did anyone in the Anderson area at that time see or hear anything that could still shed light on that night?
