On a tragic Friday evening in Batesburg, South Carolina, the life of 33-year-old Daniel Nathaniel Robinson was cut short. On October 11, 2019, at approximately 9:15 p.m., officers from the Batesburg-Leesville Police Department were dispatched to a residence following a report of a gunshot victim. Upon their arrival, they discovered a grim scene with two men suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.
Emergency medical services were called to the location, but it was too late for both
individuals. Daniel Nathaniel Robinson and another man, identified as 26-year-old Richard DeQuincy Broadwater, were both pronounced dead at the scene. The incident was quickly classified as a double homicide, prompting a significant law enforcement response. The Batesburg-Leesville Police Department was joined in the investigation by the State Law Enforcement Division and the Lexington County Sheriff's Department.
Despite the collaborative efforts of these agencies, the investigation into the murders of Robinson and Broadwater has yet to yield any arrests. Authorities have not publicly identified any suspects or disclosed any potential leads in the case. Law enforcement officials have appealed to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough, with organizations like Midlands Crimestoppers offering a cash reward for tips that result in an arrest.
The case remains an open and active investigation. The families of Daniel Nathaniel Robinson and Richard DeQuincy Broadwater, along with the Batesburg-Leesville community, are left awaiting answers and seeking justice for the two men whose lives were violently taken.
