On the afternoon of September 24, 2023, 16-year-old Caleb Daivon Wise was fatally shot in Columbia, South Carolina. The attack occurred in the 200 block of Saddletrail Road in the Lincolnshire subdivision just after 2 p.m., when Wise and three other teenagers were sitting in front of a house and were approached on foot and shot. Two other students, 16-year-old Jakobe Fanning and 17-year-old Dre'Von Riley, also died; a 14-year-old student from Alcorn Middle School was injured in the lower body and later released from the hospital.

The Richland County Sheriff’s Department transported all four victims to a local hospital, where Wise, Fanning, and Riley succumbed to their injuries. In the days after the shooting, law enforcement arrested three suspects: 17-year-olds Karlos Damon Gibson and Jakeem Griffin, and a 14-year-old whose name is withheld because of his age. All three have been charged with three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. Sheriff Leon Lott described the killing as the result of a long-standing dispute he called something stupid.
