In the early morning hours of a Tuesday in June 2019, gunfire broke the quiet at a Sanford Road residence in the Little River area of Horry County, South Carolina. Around 1:30 a.m., 56-year-old Daniel Gore was found shot and died at the scene. Neighbors knew him as Pookie, a familiar neighborhood handyman who helped with painting, gave rides to people in need, and cared for his elderly mother.

The Horry County Police Department opened a murder investigation; a radio call that morning reported one person had been shot at the residence. Police confirmed the investigation but released few details.

Does anyone in the Sanford Road or Little River community have information about Daniel Gore’s death or remember anything from that night that could help?
