Hubert L. Vaughn, a 64-year-old lifelong Greenville County resident and World War II veteran, was found beaten inside Sloan’s Liquor Store at 14 Lois Avenue on October 10, 1974. He suffered critical blunt force trauma and died of his injuries the next day. Investigators concluded the attack was motivated by robbery after money and other items were reported missing from the store. Vaughn had served in the Army Air Corps flying missions over Europe and was a respected member of the community.

No arrests have ever been made and no suspects have been publicly identified. The Greenville Police Department continues to list the killing among its unsolved homicides. Does anyone have information about Sloan’s Liquor Store, who was in that area in October 1974, or memories that could help bring answers about what happened to Hubert Vaughn?
