A Greenville man in town for a wedding was found dead in downtown Columbia over the weekend.
WIS reported that police were called about 8 a.m. Sunday to the 1700 block of Senate Street, near Henderson Street, when two people out for a walk found the man lying on the ground.
Emergency crews determined the man had died. Investigators say the victim is Wesley Brown, 26, of Greenville.
Brown was alone when he was shot, police said. He died from “complications of a gunshot wound,” the coroner confirmed.
Neighbors said Senate Street is safe, with many University of South Carolina students and families living in the houses along this street.
But what they woke up to on Sunday morning was shocking and unsettling.
