Raymond Lee Toler, 66, was shot and killed at his home on Sunnyside Drive in Cayce, South Carolina, on March 10, 2023. The shooting reportedly occurred in the afternoon after an altercation with his 13-year-old grandson; Toler sustained multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body and was pronounced dead at the scene. Family members described him as a caring and outgoing person.

Toler’s wife was also injured when the grandson allegedly struck her with the gun; she was not shot and was treated at a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries before being released. The teenager was taken into custody by the Cayce Police Department and faces charges of murder, attempted murder, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. Because of his age, his identity has not been released and the matter is being handled through family court and the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice; it has not been publicly decided whether he will be tried as a juvenile or an adult. The investigation is ongoing.
