Two Shot, Killed at Columbia Home

Two people found dead inside a Gadsden Street home Tuesday night died of a gunshot wound, said Richland County Coroner Gary Watts.

The two were identified as Anne Jervey, 59, and Robert Galphin III, 51, both of Columbia, Watts said Wednesday.

Columbia Police found their bodies inside a garage at Jervey’s home at 2224 Gadsden Street. According to a report from The State, Jervey was Galphin’s co-worker. 

Galphin was reported missing to the Columbia Police Department by his wife on Sunday, according to a Columbia Police Department release. She and other relatives told investigators that they had not heard from Galphin since mid-September.

The missing person case led police to Jervey’s house Tuesday, according to the police department release.

Additional information will be released pending forensic testing, the release said.
