On the morning of Thursday, August 8, 2024, 42-year-old Martin Karl Reiff, Jr. of Patrick, South Carolina, was shot and killed while riding as a passenger on Cane Mill Crossing Road in Chesterfield County. The shooting occurred about 4:30 a.m. during a tropical storm; wind and rain were reported at the time.

Reiff, who was not involved in that dispute, was struck and died; no other injuries were reported. Crowley was taken into custody and charged with murder in connection with Reiff’s death.
