Tavaris Jamal Dolford, 20, was last seen in late 2023 on South Center Road in Darlington County, South Carolina. Known to family and friends as Lil Drip, he was reported missing after he did not return, prompting a multi-day search by his relatives.

On December 2, 2023, a deer hunter on Dutch Lane in neighboring Lee County found a vehicle that had been parked for hours. Inside, authorities discovered Dolford deceased. An autopsy later determined he had a fatal gunshot wound to the head and the coroner ruled the manner of death a homicide; the exact firing range could not be immediately determined. Multiple agencies responded to the scene, and public reports state no suspects or arrests have been announced and the investigation remains open.

If anyone knew Tavaris or saw a vehicle parked on Dutch Lane around December 2, 2023, please share what you know with investigators.
