On August 24, 2024, 41-year-old Lekenla Renesha Cantey was killed in her home in Summerton, South Carolina. Deputies found Cantey unresponsive in a hallway with fatal gunshot wounds and the Clarendon County Coroner’s Office pronounced her dead at the scene.

Investigators say the shooting occurred during a physical altercation between Cantey and her 68-year-old father, Buster Bennett, who is wheelchair-bound. Other family members were reportedly in the home when the incident happened. As of late August 2024 the sheriff’s office reported the investigation was ongoing and no arrests or charges had been announced. Court records show a prior civil case between Bennett and Cantey in 2023 that was dismissed; no further details of that dispute or a motive for the altercation have been released.

If anyone was in the home that day or has information about the events leading up to the shooting, please share what you know.
