An identification has been made by the Greenville County Coroner’s Office regarding a young person who was discovered shot to death in the early hours of Sunday morning in the vicinity of the Bald Rock region. The sad event happened right before 3 a.m. at 6600 Geer Highway, and local deputies reacted quickly.
Arriving, responders found two guys with at least one gunshot wound. Later identified as 21-year-old Kaylon Reid Culbertson of Greenville, one of the people was declared dead on the spot. The second person was driven straight to a hospital for additional treatment.
Though no further information regarding possible reasons or circumstances surrounding the shooting has been provided, investigators have verified that a person of interest has been questioned in relation with the event.
The community has suffered greatly from this terrible loss; authorities are still working hard to find out what preceded the catastrophe. As the inquiry is still under progress, anyone with further information is advised by the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office to come forward.
Thoughts and prayers go to the family and friends impacted by this pointless act of violence.
