Good morning, Rock Hill.

Rock Hill saw a third arrest in a shooting incident when 18-year-old Denarion Au’shad Gordon surrendered on June 23, 2023 and faces charges of attempted murder and firearm possession—this follows a June 2 shooting near Heather Square that injured a 33-year-old man.

Cederick Dion Dixon, 38, of Fort Mill, was sentenced to over seven years in federal prison—87 months in jail and three years of court-ordered supervision—after a January 15 traffic stop led to the discovery of a firearm, ammunition, and drugs in his vehicle while his status as a convicted felon made his possession illegal.

Elected officials in York and Lancaster Counties are paid very different salaries based on the size and scope of their local governments — Rock Hill officials receive the highest pay with the mayor earning $28,023.84 and each council member $17,844.32 while Tega Cay officials earn as little as $6,000 and $3,600 respectively. County council and school board pay also vary widely according to administrative responsibilities.

Anne Harty, Rock Hill’s Chief Financial Officer, received the key to the city on June 9 in a surprise ceremony recognizing her 34-year career in local government—Mayor John Gettys praised her financial leadership as she will retire on June 30 and remain available to help city officials.
