Lashanti Hester, a 16-year-old student at Westside High School, was fatally wounded in a drive-by shooting in Anderson, South Carolina, on the evening of June 5, 2020. The shooting occurred after a graduation party and devastated her family and community.

Within a month investigators arrested four people in connection with the case: 19-year-old Gratarius Calhoun, 20-year-old Javon Newsome, and two 17-year-old females from Greenwood. All four were charged with murder. At a subsequent hearing Gratarius Calhoun was denied bond and remained in custody while the matter moved through the courts.
