On February 2, 2023, deputies from the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office fatally shot Darius Holcomb, a 39-year-old schizophrenic man, during an attempt to serve low-level warrants. The incident involved the use of tear gas and a police dog before the shooting occurred. Holcomb’s family filed a lawsuit against the Sheriff’s Office, alleging violations of Holcomb’s constitutional rights and the Americans with Disabilities Act. The lawsuit contends that the officers displayed a reckless disregard for Holcomb’s need for psychiatric and medical care.
