Christopher Lewis Dendy Jr., 28, was shot in the early morning hours of Friday, September 12, 2025, in a parking lot near Roosevelt Avenue and Nichol Street in Greenville’s Nicholtown neighborhood. First responders found him with at least one gunshot wound just after midnight; he was taken to Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital and died later that day. The Greenville County Coroner’s Office ruled his death a homicide.

Within hours investigators processed the scene and, before the day concluded, the Greenville Police Department with the U.S. Marshals Task Force took 41-year-old Daniel Alexander Brown into custody. Brown was charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. Authorities did not immediately disclose a motive and described the investigation as ongoing. Dendy’s obituary lists him as a son, father, brother and devoted friend, with funeral services planned for the following week.

Does anyone who knew Christopher or witnessed activity in the Nicholtown area that night have information that could help the investigation?
