Carnell Nealous III, 24, was fatally shot at his home on Weston Street in North Augusta, South Carolina, on the morning of June 13, 2023. Deputies from the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call at 10:05 a.m. and found Nealous in the doorway of the residence; witnesses heard gunshots and reported a light-colored white or gray sedan speeding away. Nealous was alone at the home when he was killed.

Investigators said they had no leads or suspects in the early stages of the inquiry. Authorities were also examining a separate shooting that occurred hours earlier nearby on Hutchinson Drive, where a 52-year-old woman was struck by a bullet in her bed, but it was unclear if the two incidents were connected. Nealous’ family described him as a loving son who enjoyed spending time with those close to him.

Anyone with information about either shooting or who saw a light-colored white or gray sedan in the area that morning is asked to come forward.
