On the night of October 8, 2022, a dispute between rival motorcycle groups on South Lake Drive in Lexington County, South Carolina, escalated into a fatal shooting. Timothy Harold Brock, a 57-year-old male from Goose Creek, was riding his motorcycle near Interstate 20 when he was ambushed. Several individuals approached him at a high rate of speed and opened fire, striking Brock multiple times in his upper body before fleeing the scene. He died from his injuries in the roadway.
Another individual was also shot during the incident but survived.
The Lexington County Sheriff's Department launched an investigation, utilizing witness interviews and surveillance footage from the area to identify the perpetrators. The investigation led to the arrest of four men in connection with the shooting. The suspects were identified as 33-year-old Shane Andrzejewski of Lexington, 28-year-old Joshua Allen Dutton of Columbia, 38-year-old Casey Thomas Goodson of Chapin, and 34-year-old William Douglas McGathen Simpson of Edgefield.
All four men were taken into custody and booked at the Lexington County Detention Center. They have each been charged with one count of murder, seven counts of attempted murder, and one count of conspiracy. Authorities confirmed that the suspects and Brock were members of opposing motorcycle clubs and that the shooting stemmed from an earlier altercation between the two groups. The arrests were the result of a collaborative effort between multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Richland and Edgefield County Sheriff's Departments, the Chapin and Lexington Police Departments, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, the Secret Service, and U.S. Marshals.
