Victor D’ Jeon Glover, 33, was shot and killed the evening of July 9, 2023, at Gable Oaks Apartments on Colleton Street in Columbia, South Carolina. Officers responding shortly before 9:30 p.m. found him with gunshot wounds to his upper body; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators announced a major development on July 17, 2023, when a 16-year-old male was arrested in connection with the shooting. Because of his age, the suspect’s name was not released. Authorities say the encounter was a prearranged drug transaction and allege the teenager shot Glover. The juvenile was charged with murder, possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime, armed robbery, possession of a pistol by a person under 18, and unlawful carry of a pistol, and was placed in the juvenile section of the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center.

What details about Glover’s movements that evening or about the reported transaction might help explain how this deadly encounter unfolded?
