On Aug. 27, bullets from the intoxicated 30-year-old man’s .45-caliber handgun fatally struck Kesha Luwan Lucille Tate, his 42-year-old neighbor, and parent to 9 kids.
The bullet that killed a mother of nine in Gaffney did not ricochet during target practice as first thought, according to Cherokee County Sheriff Steve Mueller. The forensic investigation shows otherwise, he said.
