Hartsville Police Department Investigate Shooting

November 08, 2022

Senator Kent Williams and I were happy to present Marion County Law Enforcement with a check for $300,000. This money will be used to purchase portable radios for the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, Marion Police, Mullins Police, Nichols Police, and Sellers Police.
This will also save our county and municipalities money by not having to go out and purchase these radios for our law enforcement. I’d like to thank Sheriff Brian Wallace for reaching out to me and asking to help secure funds so our law enforcement have what they need to protect the citizens of Marion County. I‘d also like to thank Speaker Murrell Smith, Rep. Phillip Lowe, and Rep. Jackie Hayes for making sure our law enforcement in rural areas have the resources they need to keep our citizens safe.

On Sunday, October 30, 2022, at or around 8:30 p.m., the Hartsville Police Department received a report of a shooting on Security Drive in Hartsville, SC. When officers arrived, it was discovered one male victim had been taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased. Authorities believe this to be an isolated event.

The Hartsville Police Department is working with the Darlington County Sheriff’s Department. Additionally, the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) has been called to assist in the investigation.

The investigation is active and ongoing. If anyone has information, please contact the Hartsville Police Department at: 843-383-3011.
