Kenasia Lanae Martin, 22, of Greensboro, North Carolina, was killed on the afternoon of August 7, 2024, in Loris, South Carolina. The shooting occurred near the downtown Bojangles on Main Street, around 1:30 p.m., during heavy rain from Tropical Storm Debby. Martin suffered fatal gunshot wounds; a second person was wounded.

Reports say the violence followed a domestic dispute that involved three women and escalated, drawing additional people and ending near Walnut Street. Martin was a rising junior at North Carolina A&T State University, about to begin work toward a Bachelor of Science in Social Work. She had recently earned an Associate in Arts degree and served as a college ambassador, campus worker, and substitute teacher.

Law enforcement arrested four people on murder and attempted murder charges after the shooting: Lilly Stephens (arrested August 12), William Thatcher Goodman, 51, and Antonio Dewayne Goodman, 53 (both arrested August 15), and Feleshisa Goodman, who was apprehended in North Carolina and was awaiting extradition to Horry County. Authorities did not immediately identify who fired the fatal shots. If anyone knew Kenasia or saw what happened that day, please share information with investigators.
