On the afternoon of August 23, 2026, a verbal altercation inside a home on Vince Circle in Florence, South Carolina, ended with the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Takisha Johnson. Johnson intervened to stop Atkins from leaving the residence with the firearm and was struck when the shotgun discharged; she later died of her injuries. First responders arrived at about 2:30 p.m., and the Florence County Sheriff’s Office identified Atkins and Mack as the people involved.

Both were taken into custody the same day; Atkins was charged with murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime, and Mack was charged with assault and first-degree battery. Both were booked and held at the Florence County Detention Center awaiting a bond hearing.

Does anyone have information about Johnson, the scene on Vince Circle, or witnesses to the August 23 incident?
