On September 9, 2024, Michez Janita Fowler, 46, was found dead outside a red Kia that had struck a fence on Valentine Street in the Judson community of Greenville County, South Carolina. Fowler had sustained at least one gunshot wound. Authorities responded to reports of gunfire and the subsequent crash that afternoon.

Investigators determined the incident stemmed from a domestic dispute. Fowler had been driving with 58-year-old Michael Lewis Moore as a passenger; Moore allegedly shot Fowler during the drive, causing the vehicle to crash. Moore fled on foot but was identified, located at his residence on Honour Street nearby, and taken into custody. He was charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime and booked into the Greenville County Detention Center, where bond was denied.

In the days after his arrest, Moore was also charged with two counts of sexual abuse of a minor. The investigation into the homicide and the additional charges remains ongoing. Did anyone in the Judson area see the red Kia or events on Valentine Street that afternoon?
