MANNING - State and local investigators are searching for two men wanted in connection with a pair of shootings in Clarendon County.
Sheriff Randy Garrett says his deputies have signed murder warrants against 19-year-old Trevor Singleton and 21-year-old Joshua Cummings, both of Sumter.
Investigators were called to a home located at 3360 Reverend J.W. Carter Rd., off Highway 301 in the Rambay Community around 11:55 a.m. Friday.
When they arrived they found Arvis Williams lying inside the house, with a gunshot wound to the back. Paramedics took Williams to Clarendon Memorial Hospital in Manning, where doctors later pronounced him dead.
Deputies also found a second man, Kasheem Lawson, lying in the front yard of the home, with a gunshot wound to the leg.
Garrett says Lawson was with Singleton and Cummings when all three entered the home, robbed Williams, and then shot him. As the men drove away, one of them also shot Lawson. He jumped out of the vehicle, as it sped away from the scene.
Garrett says the vehicle was recovered Friday afternoon on the campus of Morris College, where Cummings is enrolled as a student. Garrett says Singleton is a former student who was expelled from the school.
SLED agents are now processing the vehicle.
Deputies were interviewing family members Friday afternoon to get more information on the case.
Garrett says along with SLED, officers from Sumter Police and the Sumter County Sheriff’s office are assisting with the search for Singleton and Cummings.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the CrimeStoppers Hotline at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
