A fatal argument at a Columbia apartment complex ended the life of 33-year-old Lenny W. Corley on the night of December 31, 2024. The shooting happened at about 10:00 p.m. at the Riverside Apartments on Lucius Road. Police found Corley unresponsive; another man at the scene had a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.

Investigators say the shooting grew out of an argument between Corley and two males. On January 3, 2025, 20-year-old Sean D. Simmons was arrested and booked at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center and held without bond. A male teenager was arrested in Albemarle, North Carolina, and was being held at the Stanly County Detention Center pending extradition. Both face multiple charges, including murder, breach of peace of a high and aggravated nature, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and criminal conspiracy; the teen also faces a charge of possession of a handgun by a person under 18.

Are there details about the argument or anyone who saw the events at Riverside Apartments that could help explain what happened?
