Levon Wilson, 46, was found fatally shot in the front yard of a Cheyne Street residence in Sumter, South Carolina, on the evening of June 20, 2023. Officers arriving after a call around 11 p.m. discovered Wilson unresponsive; an autopsy was scheduled with the Sumter County Coroner’s Office to determine the official cause of death.

Investigators identified a neighbor, 58-year-old George Gregory Anderson Sr., as an alleged perpetrator and took him into custody. Anderson faces charges including murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime and was served with an unrelated outstanding bench warrant at the time of his arrest. Authorities say no motive has been established; they reported Wilson and Anderson did not appear to be acquainted and offered no evidence of a prior dispute.

Wilson was a husband, father of seven, long-time Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation employee of more than 14 years, and an active member of Beulah AME Church. Does anyone in Sumter have information about that night or about interactions in the neighborhood leading up to the shooting?
