CHEROKEE Co., S.C. (WSPA/WISH) — The coroner says a Gaffney man was killed in his home during a drive-by shooting.

The victim is identified as Overton Deshan Good, 23, of 1521 Pleasant School Road.

Cherokee County Coroner Dennis Fowler says Good was killed Tuesday morning. 

“Mr. Good and a friend were in the residence when gunfire erupted about 8:30 a.m. Multiple bullets struck the single wide mobile home, one of them striking the victim in the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene,” Fowler said in a release.

The shooting is under investigation by the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff Steve Mueller said investigators are working to develop a person or persons of interest in the case. 

Family members confirmed that Good is the brother of NFL star Denzelle Good, who is a lineman for the Indianapolis Colts. They said he had just returned home a few days ago from watching his brother play.
