Anthony Lemay, a 14-year-old student at Forestbrook Middle School, was fatally shot in a Myrtle Beach apartment on a Sunday evening in early February 2020. Police responded to a call about 5:15 p.m. in the 500 block of 65th Avenue North and found Anthony with serious injuries; he was later pronounced dead.

Authorities arrested his cousin, Tylor Rogers. Police reports say Rogers had stolen a handgun from a vehicle earlier that day and, inside the apartment, stated he unloaded the weapon and then pointed it at Anthony and pulled the trigger. Rogers was taken into custody and faced a murder charge.

Family remembered Anthony as a good student who didn’t need to study much, mature beyond his years, and someone who loved surfing and riding a go-kart. Community members and teachers from Forestbrook Middle School offered condolences as the family grieved. If anyone saw activity near 65th Avenue North that evening or has information about the firearm involved, please come forward.
