Mary Kay Rowell says her son, 29 year old Travis Rowell was beaten and shot in Rock Hill at a residence on Marshall Street in March of 2022 while trying to help a woman who told Rowell she didn’t feel safe.
Travis had a 2% chance of living, but miraculously he did make it.

He’s suffering from hallucinations, he thinks everyone is out to get him. Its a horrible situation”, says Mary Kay.
