In the early morning hours of October 10, 2021, a life was tragically cut short in Greenville, South Carolina. Allen Mitchell Rodgers Jr., a 33-year-old male, was found deceased in the parking lot of Club Twist located on White Horse Road. The Greenville County Sheriff's Office responded to a call regarding a shooting at approximately 3 a.m. Upon their arrival, deputies discovered Rodgers inside a vehicle, having sustained at least one gunshot wound.
The Greenville Coroner's Office later confirmed his identity and the cause of his death.
The investigation into the death of Allen Rodgers has been a collaborative effort between the Greenville County Sheriff's Office and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division. A significant piece of evidence in the case is security footage from the night of the incident. This footage reportedly shows an armed security officer at the club discharging their weapon after Rodgers had allegedly fired multiple shots himself. This confrontation at the club appears to be the central event leading to the fatal shooting.
As the investigation continues, no arrests have been made in connection with Allen Rodgers' death. Authorities are actively seeking additional suspects and gathering more information to piece together the exact sequence of events that transpired that night. The involvement of the security officer remains a key focus of the investigation as officials work to understand the full circumstances of the shooting. The case remains open, and law enforcement agencies are urging anyone with information to come forward. Allen Rodgers is survived by his father, two daughters, and several siblings.
