In the quiet community of Bucksport, South Carolina, a grim discovery was made on February 14, 2020. Matthew Frazier, a 29-year-old man from the nearby town of Latta, was found deceased in a residence on Bucksport Road. The scene that greeted Horry County police officers was unsettling; Frazier was found covered in blood, having been dead for some time.
The initial death investigation quickly turned into a homicide case as it was determined that Frazier had died from a gunshot wound.
The investigation into the violent death of Matthew Frazier led authorities to identify a suspect: 19-year-old Rakeem Fisher. However, before an arrest could be made and the legal process could begin, the case took another tragic turn. On February 17, 2020, just three days after Frazier's body was discovered, Rakeem Fisher was found dead. His death was ruled a suicide.
With the primary suspect in Matthew Frazier's murder having taken his own life, the path to justice was abruptly cut short. The Horry County police continued their investigation into the circumstances surrounding Frazier's death, though they assured the public that there was no ongoing threat to the community. While the case remains open, no charges will be filed against Fisher. The motive behind the shooting and the events that transpired in the moments leading up to Frazier's death remain shrouded in the silence left by the two deceased men.
