Marcus Lee, known locally as Mark, was found beaten to death in his Westminster, South Carolina, home on December 8, 1986. He was 55 and ran a lawn mower and motorcycle repair shop beside his residence near Richland Road and North Seed Farm Road. The cause of death was a traumatic head injury.

There were no signs of forced entry, so investigators concluded Lee probably knew his assailant or assailants and may have let them in. Robbery is considered the primary motive. The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office named a few persons of interest early on, but those leads did not produce arrests and the investigation eventually went cold.

Law enforcement has periodically revisited the case and is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction. Does anyone have memories or information about Marcus, his shop, or activity in that neighborhood in December 1986?
