Major Cecil Spencer Guerry, 37, was the Deputy Chief of Police in Georgetown, South Carolina, with 15 years of service. On the evening of Monday, March 7, 1994, he stopped a silver Honda Prelude with expired Colorado plates in a car wash parking lot on Highmarket Street. The vehicle’s driver was David Clayton Hill. After checking Hill’s identification and the car’s registration, Guerry returned to his patrol car to radio dispatch. As he walked back toward the vehicle he was shot once in the face. Hill’s identification card and the vehicle registration were later found in Guerry’s shirt pocket.

Major Guerry died of the wound on March 9, 1994, without regaining consciousness. The suspect fled the scene, returned to his house, collected a girlfriend and belongings, went to his mother’s home, and attempted to abandon the vehicle in a ditch before calling police and being arrested a few hours after the shooting. Hill was indicted for Major Guerry’s murder on April 20, 1994. If anyone has information about that night or knew Major Guerry, please share what can help the investigation.
