Rock Hill, SC – A shooting incident that occurred on July 7, 2025, has left a 19-year-old man hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. The shooting took place just before 10 p.m. outside Adam’s Grocery, located off South Wilson Street.
According to the Rock Hill Police Department, officers responded after receiving reports of two male suspects shooting at two other men near the grocery store. Witness accounts suggest that the suspects followed one of the victims as he fled the store, continuing to fire shots at him. During the chaotic scene, as the victim attempted to escape by getting into his car, a bullet struck a teenage passenger, inflicting serious injuries.
The injured teenager was promptly transported to Piedmont Medical Center, where he is currently receiving treatment for his injuries. At this time, both the identities of the victim and the suspects remain unknown, and police have not disclosed whether there is any surveillance video footage of the incident.
The Rock Hill Criminal Investigations Division has taken charge of the case and is actively investigating the motive behind the shooting. As of now, no arrests have been made, and police have not confirmed any connections to previous incidents.
This shooting is particularly alarming as it marks the second incident involving a teenager in a car within the last ten days in Rock Hill. On June 27, a 17-year-old driver was shot and killed while driving on Finley Road. That case is still under investigation, and authorities have indicated that no arrests have been made in that situation either. However, police do not believe the two shootings are related.
The Rock Hill Police are urging anyone with information regarding this latest shooting to come forward. The investigation into both shooting incidents is ongoing, and authorities are committed to finding answers and bringing any responsible individuals to justice.
This series of violent incidents is a concerning trend for the community, as law enforcement officials are working diligently to address gun violence and ensure the safety of residents. The police department has not yet released information about any potential community meetings or outreach programs aimed at violence prevention but is focusing on gathering all available evidence from the latest shooting.
Residents in the surrounding area are advised to remain vigilant and report any unusual activity to law enforcement. Continued support from the community is seen as crucial in combating violence, as police encourage collaboration between law enforcement and citizens to foster a safer environment for everyone.
As the investigation progresses, updates will be provided to keep the community informed about developments related to the shooting and the efforts being made by law enforcement to tackle such incidents effectively.
