In the late afternoon of a Wednesday in Conway, South Carolina, the quiet of a mobile home park on Warf Drive was shattered by the sound of gunfire. On September 23, 2020, a young man's life was cut tragically short. Walter Lee Myers III, a 29-year-old male, was found by authorities who had been called to the scene around 5 p.m. He had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the location.
The Horry County Coroner's Office later confirmed the identity of the victim.
In the immediate aftermath, details from the Horry County police were sparse as they began their investigation into the violent death of the man affectionately known by some as 'Slim.' Neighbors in the generally peaceful community reported hearing the gunshots, with one resident recounting the presence of two men and a woman on the property before the fatal incident occurred, creating a sense of fear and unease in the area.
Despite the initial investigation and the passage of time, there has been no publicly available information regarding any arrests made in connection with the shooting. The identity of any potential suspect or suspects has not been released by law enforcement. The case of who is responsible for the death of Walter Lee Myers III remains without a public resolution, leaving questions unanswered for his family and the community that was shaken by this sudden act of violence.
