Willie McDuffie, a 70-year-old longtime mechanic in Sumter, South Carolina, was lured to his auto repair shop on Airport Road on July 18, 2022, under the pretense of discussing work on a vehicle. At the shop he was robbed of a large sum of money and shot multiple times, dying at the scene. His body was discovered the next morning, July 19, 2022, by a relative arriving to open the business.

Investigators identified a suspect within weeks. On July 27, 2022, 30-year-old Priscilla Maria Graves was arrested and initially charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery; those charges were later upgraded to include murder and criminal conspiracy. A second arrest followed on August 22, 2022, when Senque Rashaad-Tyrek Robinson was taken into custody and charged with criminal conspiracy.

The inquiry remained active, and additional arrests have been made as the investigation progressed. Does anyone who knew Willie, worked at or near the Airport Road shop, or has information about that July 18 meeting want to come forward?
