Jacob Lee Duncan was 13 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting at his family property on Bennett Road in Pageland, South Carolina, on the night of January 26, 2024. Jacob and his older brother Eric were in a shed behind the house when a passing car fired shots; a bullet penetrated the shed wall and fatally wounded Jacob. His brother was at his side as Jacob died.

Jacob, born June 9, 2010, in Lancaster, South Carolina, is remembered by his family as kindhearted, outgoing, and fond of the outdoors, fishing and caring for farm animals. Investigators with the Chesterfield County Sheriff’s Office say the shots were aimed at the home and Jacob was not believed to be the intended target. Witnesses and surveillance video reportedly captured the passing vehicle and muzzle flashes, but the case has grown cold.

As of late 2025 no arrests have been announced and no suspects publicly identified; a $7,500 reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest. If anyone knew Jacob, saw or heard anything on the night of January 26, 2024, or has seen the vehicle captured on video, please come forward with information.
