In the quiet community of Eastover, South Carolina, a domestic dispute on a late Monday afternoon tragically escalated, ending the life of 60-year-old Dale Segura. On June 30, 2025, deputies from the Richland County Sheriff's Department were called to a residence in the 1500 block of Chain Gang Road shortly after 5:00 p.m. following reports of a dispute. While on their way, the call was distressingly upgraded to a shots-fired incident.
Upon their arrival, deputies discovered Mr.
Segura with a gunshot wound to his upper body. Despite the prompt response from Emergency Medical Services and the Columbia Fire Department, Dale Segura was pronounced deceased at the scene. The Richland County Coroner's Office later confirmed his identity. Dale, a devoted father and loyal friend, was remembered for his generosity, strength, and the calm he could bring to chaos. He was born on December 18, 1964, and his kind heart left a lasting impact on those who knew him.
At the scene of the incident, deputies detained 27-year-old Cody Segura. He was taken to the Richland County Sheriff's Department's Pineview office for questioning by investigators. Following the interview, Cody Segura was arrested and charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. He was subsequently booked into the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center to await a bond hearing. While authorities have not released specific details about the nature of the dispute or the relationship between the two men, the investigation into the homicide is ongoing with the collaboration of the Richland County Sheriff's Department and the Coroner's Office.
