In the quiet, early morning hours of March 24, 2018, the life of 34-year-old Larry T. Wilson of Longs, South Carolina, was tragically cut short. Wilson, a male, was fatally wounded in a shooting that occurred around 5:30 a.m. near Radius Road in the Freemont community of Longs. The Horry County Deputy Coroner later identified him as the victim of the violent encounter.
Initial reports from the Horry County Police Department indicated that they were actively investigating the shooting,
but no suspects had been taken into custody in the immediate aftermath. An autopsy was scheduled to determine the precise cause of death as authorities began the arduous task of piecing together the events that led to the fatal shooting. The sudden and violent nature of his death left his family and community searching for answers and grappling with the loss of a man described by many as having a fun-loving personality.
As the investigation progressed, information began to surface regarding a possible suspect. While the initial days of the investigation yielded few public developments, law enforcement officials continued their work behind the scenes. The community waited, hopeful for a resolution and for justice to be served for a life taken too soon. Further details regarding any arrests, subsequent charges, or the eventual outcome of any legal proceedings remain a subject of the ongoing investigation.
