In the wake of Zay Hurley’s death, and Kaden Moses and other unsolved cases, concerns are growing about the rise in violent crime, particularly with the recent implementation of open carry laws in South Carolina. Some community members worry that these laws may be contributing to the increase in murder rates, as access to firearms becomes more widespread. The combination of unresolved homicides and the ease of carrying firearms is raising fears about safety and justice in local communities, emphasizing the urgent need for effective crime prevention and law enforcement efforts.
