Dustin Chase Edward Northcutt, a 32-year-old white man, was fatally shot in Lexington, South Carolina, on October 27, 2023. Surveillance footage shows him running from an unidentified vehicle in the 200 block of Two Notch Road at about 11:45 p.m., then collapsing in a parking lot. A deputy conducting a welfare check found him unconscious, not breathing, with a fatal gunshot wound to his upper body; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The scene suggested a frantic struggle: one shoe was found near his body, the other near a bullet shell casing in front of another building, and blood was scattered across the parking lot. His book bag was recovered nearby in an area he was known to frequent. Lexington County Sheriff’s Department and the coroner have classified the death a homicide and opened an investigation. No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified.
