A neighborhood block party on Southland Drive in Rock Hill, South Carolina, on the evening of Saturday, June 1, 2024, turned deadly when gunfire erupted and hundreds of attendees fled. The shooting killed 44-year-old Montest T. Mincey, a mother of three who reportedly had not attended the annual event before and was described by her brother as acting as a peacemaker that night. Another person, 21-year-old Maricus Kirk, also died and two others were injured. The violence prompted organizers to discontinue the annual block party.

The Rock Hill Police Department investigated and arrested four people from nearby Lancaster County. Nineteen-year-old D'markieoun Ji'shae Clyburn was charged with the murder of Montest Mincey. Three other men—18-year-old Quantrel Jaheim Barrino, 24-year-old Tyquarious Queoveon Davis, and 20-year-old Marques Lavon Pearson—were charged as accessories to the murder. Law enforcement has not publicly detailed the motive or the specific roles each accused is alleged to have played.
