Travis D. Taylor, 40, known online as Honcho, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of April 8, 2023, in Columbia, South Carolina. Taylor, a social media influencer with a large following on platforms including TikTok, was found in the hallway of an apartment building on Metze Road around 5 a.m. with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body. He was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries.

Taylor had been out that night at two Columbia nightclubs with two other men, identified as 30-year-old Daniel Goodwin Jr. and 27-year-old Andre Daniels Jr. What occurred between them before the shooting has not been publicly disclosed. Within days the Richland County Sheriff’s Department arrested Goodwin and Daniels and charged both with murder; Goodwin also faced a weapon charge. At the time of the killing, Goodwin was out on bond on an unrelated 2019 murder charge in Orangeburg County, a fact that prompted public comment from Sheriff Leon Lott.

If anyone was in the area of Metze Road that morning or knew Travis’s movements that night, please share what you know with investigators.
