A domestic dispute in Dalzell, South Carolina, on the night of May 19, 2026, ended with Markus Antonio Burroughs, 40, shot dead inside a Benenhaley Road residence. Deputies arrived at about 11:21 p.m. after reports of a shooting and found Burroughs suffering from a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene despite aid from law enforcement and emergency medical services.

A suspect was detained at the residence and identified as Markus’s brother, Randy M. Lowery. The incident was upgraded to a homicide investigation; Lowery was arrested and charged with murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and possession of a stolen gun, then taken to the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office Detention Center pending a bond hearing. Few other case details are available at this time.

If anyone knew Markus or was in the Dalzell area that night, please share what might help investigators or the family.
