The family of Ryan Bradford, 26, is grieving after learning he was killed in a shooting outside his apartment on East Terrace Drive in Easley late Monday night.

Bradford, a father of two, grew up in Hartwell, Georgia, and had been living and working in Easley for the past several years. According to his family, they were told the fatal shot came from what was described as a “pellet gun.”
Easley Police have not yet released details on the investigation, but Bradford’s loved ones said they were informed the person who fired the weapon claimed to have shot into the air. The family, however, has many questions about the circumstances surrounding his death.
As the investigation continues, relatives and friends remember Ryan as a devoted father and a caring presence in their lives. His loss has left a deep void, and the family is asking for continued prayers during this difficult time.
