Terrell Antonyo Cohen, 40, was killed in Spartanburg County on the afternoon of December 17, 2020. Cohen and another man, Elijah Ross, were on James H. Young Street when they were approached by Jolyne Rector-Mills and at least one other person. The encounter became an attempted robbery. Cohen tried to flee and was shot by Rector-Mills; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Ross was found nearby inside a vehicle with multiple gunshot wounds and taken to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center.

Authorities followed witness accounts and a tip to locate Rector-Mills; he was arrested in Thomasville, North Carolina, five days after the shooting. The investigation into any additional persons involved continued. Rector-Mills later pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and a weapons charge and received prison terms for those convictions.

If anyone has information about the people who were with Rector-Mills that afternoon or saw what happened on James H. Young Street, please share what is known.
