Si’dreek Maurice Player was a 16-year-old student at the Darlington-Lee Adult Education Center in Darlington, South Carolina, about to earn his GED when he was fatally shot in the school campus parking lot on the afternoon of October 10, 2023. Authorities characterized the shooting as appearing to be drug- and gang-related and said it may have been linked to a crash four days earlier; the sheriff also expressed a belief that Si’dreek was connected to another shooting earlier that month.

Nearly three weeks after the killing, police arrested Quinton McLeroy Jr. following a short foot chase and charged him with murder, criminal conspiracy, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and receiving stolen goods; a judge denied him bond. While jailed awaiting trial, McLeroy faced an additional contraband charge after social media videos reportedly filmed inside the detention center showed him making what appeared to be Blood gang signs.

The case remains unsolved. Did anyone in Darlington see Si’dreek on October 10, 2023, or have information about the events in the days that followed?
