Travis Wallace, 35, was found dead of a single gunshot wound to the chest on October 12, 2015, in room 218 of the Super 8 Motel in Shelby, North Carolina. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene around 4:30 a.m. Wallace was from Gaffney, South Carolina.

Investigators reported Wallace was selling methamphetamine out of the motel room and that several people were coming and going the night he was killed. Family members who saw him the night before said he seemed a bit off and mentioned his two children, which they found unusual for him. Police charged four people from Union, South Carolina — Timothy John Clark, Willa Jean Hucks, Brint Ray Davis and Michael Anthony Dinneen — with first-degree murder and attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon in connection with the case.

Anyone with information about Wallace, his activities at the motel, or who was at room 218 that night is asked to come forward.
