Authorities reported an apparent gunshot wound as the cause of death after the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call about a person shot in the Rainbow Terrace area at about 6:05 p.m.

Investigators quickly developed a person of interest in the case and identified 26-year-old Corderious Smith in connection with Goodwin’s death; Smith was taken into custody.
