PCSO: Complex where student killed keeps deputies out
No suspects in custody

PICKENS COUNTY, S.C. —
Deputies investigating the death of a Clemson student in an armed robbery say the complex where the student lives has a no-trespassing order against the Pickens County Sheriff’s Office, keeping deputies out of the complex unless they are called. Deputies said they went to the gated Chimney Ridge apartments after a call about a student being shot at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday.
The Pickens County coroner identified the shooting victim as Steven Gregory Grich, 23 of Fort Mill, S.C. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Grich was a junior electrical engineering student at Clemson University.
Investigators said three to four masked men came into the home through an unlocked back door on Smoke Rise Drive and assaulted Grich and others inside.
The Chimney Ridge Community is made up of more than 100 homes marketed to Clemson students.
Pickens County Sheriff's Office officials say they have had problems in the past with Chimney Ridge and deputies are not allowed to patrol the property, because of the trespass notice there.

I can't help but wonder if someone in the house had some connection to the intruders.
