In the quiet community of Moncks Corner, South Carolina, the life of Lance Donovan Kenyon, a 47-year-old Caucasian male, was tragically cut short on October 7, 2016. He was one of three victims in a brutal shooting that also claimed the lives of 62-year-old James Harrison and 52-year-old Harry Lee Gressette. The violent incident unfolded in the early morning hours at a residence on Macio Road, shattering the peace of the neighborhood and leaving a lasting scar on the community.
Responding to the scene, deputies from the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office discovered a horrific sight. Inside the home, they found the three men, all of whom had sustained fatal gunshot wounds. A witness at the scene recounted being awakened by the sound of gunfire and seeing the alleged perpetrator, Robert David Nolen, armed with a rifle. In a chilling confession, Nolen reportedly told the witness, 'I killed them all,' before firing more shots. When law enforcement arrived, they found Nolen, who was 46 at the time, attempting to administer CPR to one of the victims. He subsequently identified himself to the authorities as the person responsible for the killings.
Robert David Nolen was taken into custody at the scene and faced a litany of charges, including three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. While the motive for the deadly rampage remained unclear, investigators suggested that alcohol may have been a contributing factor. The Berkeley County Sheriff's Office conducted a thorough investigation, recovering the firearm used in the commission of the crimes. The triple homicide deeply affected the Moncks Corner community, prompting an outpouring of grief for the victims and their families as they began the difficult process of seeking justice for their loved ones.
