On the evening of May 17, 2024, 19-year-old DeMarcus J. Sanders was shot at a park on Odom Street in Chester, South Carolina. Emergency responders arrived before 7 p.m. and found Sanders and a 17-year-old male wounded. Sanders was taken to Piedmont Medical Center in Rock Hill, where he later died. The juvenile suffered a non-life-threatening leg wound.

Initial accounts said the shots came from a vehicle, and the Chester Police Department with the State Law Enforcement Division opened an investigation. In the weeks that followed, 20-year-old Sincere O'Neal Streeter was identified as the alleged shooter and charged with murder in Sanders’s death, attempted murder for the juvenile’s injuries, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. The investigation remains active.
