On the night of May 23, 2024, 23-year-old Eric Mayben was shot multiple times inside a home on Comet Drive in Winnsboro, South Carolina. Deputies arrived after 11:25 p.m., found the front-door glass shattered and Mayben’s body lying near the entrance, unresponsive and covered in blood. A woman who had been in the house was found hiding in a closet and was uninjured. An autopsy confirmed Mayben died of his injuries.

Fairfield County investigators released home security footage showing a person entering the residence around the time of the shooting, but no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced and the homicide investigation remains active. Mayben’s mother, Wateka Brice, has urged anyone with information to come forward; the family is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. The Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office and CrimeStoppers are requesting tips.

If anyone in Winnsboro saw or heard anything the night of May 23, or has information about who entered the Comet Drive home, please contact investigators.
