On the evening of January 4, 2023, 53-year-old Nathaniel Eugene Gene White III was shot and killed at his home on John Street in Lancaster, South Carolina. He was found with gunshot wounds inside an outbuilding on the property and two women who were assisting him when authorities arrived were unable to save him. Witnesses said a man entered the outbuilding shortly before gunshots and then fled carrying a handgun, leaving in a waiting vehicle driven by another man.

Investigators determined the shooting resulted from an intended robbery. On January 16, 2023, 24-year-old Corey Deonta Baker Jr., of York County, was arrested and charged with murder, possession of a firearm during a violent crime, and unlawful carrying of a pistol; bond was denied. A later arrest named 20-year-old Rickevious Debriek Durham of Rock Hill as the driver of the getaway vehicle; he was charged with murder and a related gun offense and was also denied bond.

Did anyone in Lancaster on January 4 see the vehicle that left the scene or recognize either man?
