Lorenzo Emanuel Jones was 21 when he was found dead of multiple gunshot wounds on Sugar Hill Road in Dillon County, South Carolina, on April 1, 2026. Authorities have classified his death as a homicide and the Dillon County Sheriff’s Office is investigating.

At the time he was killed, Jones had been publicly identified as a suspect in a fatal convenience-store shooting in neighboring Marion County in March 2026. Details about that March incident, including the victim’s identity and the circumstances, have not been released, and investigators say they are exploring whether the two shootings are connected.

No suspects or arrests in Jones’s homicide have been announced. Anyone with information about Jones, his movements in late March and early April 2026, or the Sugar Hill Road scene is asked to contact the Dillon County Sheriff’s Office.
