    GAFFNEY, SC (WHNS) — Sheriff Steve Mueller said a homicide investigation is underway after one person was found dead after a shooting in Cherokee County Tuesday.

Mueller said the shooting happened along the 1200 block of Pleasant School Road around 8:30 a.m.

Coroner Dennis Fowler identified the deceased as Overton Deshan Good, 23, of Pleasant School Road.

Fowler said Good died after being shot in a drive-by shooting.

“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 news release.

Family members confirmed Overton is the brother of NFL player Denzelle Good, an offensive tackle for the Indianapolis Colts.

Both brothers played football at Gaffney High School.

Overton and his family had just returned Monday from watching the Colts play the Texans on Sunday, his father said.
