Anderson County coroner identifies man fatally shot by Williamston homeowner
Nikie Mayo
Investigators are still trying to piece together what happened in the moments before a construction worker was shot by a Williamston homeowner late Sunday night.Late Monday afternoon, Anderson County Deputy Coroner Don McCown identified the man killed as Efren N. Ramirez, 39, of Honduras. McCown said Ramirez had been living in Upstate South Carolina for a while doing construction work. McCown said Ramirez lived across the street from the home where he was shot, and that he appeared to have been heavily intoxicated when he died. It’s not yet clear how, or if, that played a role in what happened.
Sgt. J.T. Foster of the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office said Monday morning that preliminary information indicates that Ramirez was shot as he attempted to break into a home on Boiter Road. Investigators have not disclosed the name of the homeowner who shot him. No charges had been filed in the case as of Monday.

HUMBLE, Texas — A man is dead after being shot at a home in Humble, police confirm.

At some point, there was an altercation between the two of them.
She told police the man was choking her before she was able to get her handgun and shoot him.

Calling Claw! Hope you’ve done proper PMCS on the Whiz Wheel. Looking for a spin on Daivionne Young.
Back on the May 21, 2019 FGS when this first appeared, the Whiz Wheel®™ spun up a score of 44 on Daivionne Young. However, when this Urban Entrepreneur was later charged with Level 3 Felony Robbery, his full name was revealed as Daivionne Keith Malcomb Young, which spins up a DAM/WOT score of 49 x 4 = 196.
Impressive. For such a low life no-timer.
Too bad the taxi driver didn’t apply The One More Taxpayers Saving Shot.
Be it ever so Humble, there’s no place like home.
With an attitude like his, no wonder they are (were?) a former couple.
Daivionne “wants to die” Young
(polite golf applause)
Daivionne…sigh. He was a good boy, turning his life around, wanting to join the choir and start junior college. Well, at least now, he has met Jesus.
We know alcohol was involved in story # 2, wanna bet it was involved in story # 3 also?
Well, let’s hope he’s met Jesus, but he’s still among the living, according to the news articles.

I’m sure when the cab driver pulled his own weapon out, D’s life flashed before his eyes, he prolly had an epiphany/spirit show him the errors of his ways and gave him a life lesson and another chance. Personally, I’m making book that he will show up here again. Any takers?
Sorry, Engineers don’t take suckers’ bets. We leave that shit to Redlegs.🤣
“constitutional privilege”
say what?
Sarc Alert:
I’m thinking more and more that AW1Ed posted the Daivionne story to see if we were paying attention./s
BLUF, you’ll have to do better than that, Ed. That story was only seven weeks old. Although, on the surface, it may appear that the authorized Whiz Wheel®™ Operators are just Shammers and In-General F-Tards, there is a lot of diligent, behind the scenes work that goes into maintaining the KAL-55B Activities Duty Log.
So, where’s our ARCOMS?/smile
Between you and Eden I can’t get anything by, although it took a while for someone to figure out the 100 year old gunfight FGS.

It appears that the homeowner in Williamston, SC, may have saved ICE a bit of money.
I thought that stick figure people that robbed cabs were only a myth. He’s on the sidewalk DOA in the above picture.
