Christopher Cooper, 33, and 35-year-old Charles White Jr. were found dead inside a vehicle on Bennett Loop in Gresham, South Carolina, on September 20, 2023. The Marion County Coroner’s Office ruled both deaths homicides. Cooper, born January 7, 1990, was a 2008 graduate of Mullins High School and is remembered as a devoted father whose death deeply affected his family and community.

Authorities linked the double homicide to a separate shooting at a residence on Bug Trail Road in Gresham that occurred a day earlier, suggesting the two incidents may be related. Investigators with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office pursued the case, and on October 10, 2023, the sheriff’s office announced an arrest in connection with the shootings; later reports named the person taken into custody as Quantavious Fowler.
