A man was found dead in the front yard of a home in Anderson County, South Carolina, Thursday afternoon, and the county coroner's office says it is investigating his death as a homicide. The discovery was made on Quinn Street, setting off a homicide investigation that remained active as of Thursday.

According to WYFF News 4, the man's body was found on Quinn Street Thursday afternoon.

No suspect, arrest, or motive had been disclosed as the investigation got underway, per the same account. WYFF News 4 says it plans to update the story as more information becomes available, leaving many of the basic details of the case still unanswered for now.

A Street With a Painful Recent History

This is not the first time Quinn Street has been the scene of a deadly investigation. In March 2025, a double homicide on the same street left two people dead and another injured, according to goupstate.com. In that case, deputies responding to a report of a man who had been shot and was bleeding discovered two bodies on the property and called the Anderson County Coroner for assistance.

Darren Demetrius Martin, a 55-year-old registered sex offender, was arrested in connection with that 2025 case and was charged with two counts of murder, one count of attempted murder, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime, goupstate.com reported. Both cases took place on Quinn Street.

Investigation Still Developing

For now, the latest Quinn Street case remains an open homicide investigation with few public details. The victim's identity, the circumstances that led to the discovery of his body, and any potential suspects have not been released by investigators. Hoodline will continue to follow this story as authorities release more information.
