On the morning of July 28, 2023, Charles Curtis Gaither Jr., 26, was shot and killed in Rock Hill, South Carolina after a custody dispute over his five-month-old child turned violent. Gaither and his brother were both struck in the back while trying to get away; Gaither died at the scene and his brother survived his injuries. Neither victim was armed or had fired a weapon.

The man later charged in connection with the shooting was the brother of the child’s mother and had brought a loaded firearm to the confrontation instead of involving law enforcement. The presence of other people nearby, including small children, was reported.

Does anyone have information about the events that led up to that custody dispute or witnessed the shooting?
