Lorenzo Emanuel Jones, 21, was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds on April 1, 2026, on Sugar Hill Road in Dillon, South Carolina. The Dillon County Sheriff’s Office responded and opened a homicide investigation into the killing of the young man from Mullins.

The circumstances are complicated by the fact that Jones had been identified in March 2026 as a suspect in a separate, fatal shooting in neighboring Marion County; authorities in Marion County were seeking him at the time he was killed.

If anyone has information about Jones, his movements that evening, or about activity on Sugar Hill Road around April 1, please contact the Dillon County Sheriff’s Office.
