Anderson County Deputy Coroner Josh Shore identified the man killed as 19-year-old Alijah Tpau Moultrie-Fuller.

Aikens said the homeowner told police that before the shooting, people had knocked on his door twice Monday night asking to see his son. The first time, two people asked to see him but then left, according to police. The second time, shortly after 11 p.m., a man came to the door and asked for the homeowner's son by name, then forced his way into the home on King Street, Aikens said.

Aikens said that the homeowner shot the man who forced his way into the home. That man, later identified as Moultrie-Fuller, died in the doorway, Aikens said.

No charges have been filed against the homeowner at this point, Aikens said, and his identity has not been disclosed by police.
