Linster Rasberry, a 48-year-old Black man from Charlotte, North Carolina, was killed during an early-morning shooting on February 24, 2025, in the Fort Mill area of York County, South Carolina. The shooting happened about 5:30 a.m. near Foothills Way and Carowinds Boulevard, a commercial area around a Circle K gas station close to Interstate 77 and the North Carolina state line. Reports say Rasberry and another individual argued before the violence began; deputies arrived within minutes and found Rasberry with gunshot wounds. He was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead, though a coroner’s report later indicated he died at the scene.

Investigators identified Duan Ralphielle Partlow of Sharon, South Carolina, as the suspected shooter. Arrest warrants allege Partlow approached Rasberry’s vehicle and shot him with a handgun; warrants also referenced surveillance video connected to the incident. Crime-scene crews examined nearby businesses and observed a Nissan sedan with what appeared to be a bullet hole in the driver-side window.

The shooting was York County’s first homicide investigation of 2025 and drew attention because the Carowinds Boulevard corridor had been an area of ongoing concern for residents and deputies. The charges against Partlow are allegations unless proven in court. Does anyone who lived or worked in the Carowinds Boulevard area around February 24 remember unusual activity or saw anything that could help investigators?
