Joshua Matthew Garrett, 31, was found with a fatal gunshot wound to his torso and pronounced dead at the scene on A Street in the Poe Mill area of Greenville County on the evening of July 3, 2022. Garrett, described as White/Caucasian and from Greenville, was remembered by those who knew him as kind-hearted and willing to help others, a detail that has weighed heavily on family and community members after his death.

The Greenville County Sheriff’s Office investigated the shooting and identified three suspects. Eighteen-year-old Seth Tyler Norris was arrested in Greenville County, 24-year-old Tristan Wesley Ramey was located and arrested in Jacksonville, Florida, and 41-year-old Sunny Michele Sorgee was also arrested. Norris and Ramey were charged with murder; Ramey faced an additional charge of criminal conspiracy, and Sorgee was charged with accessory after the fact to a felony. At the time of these developments, Norris and Sorgee were being held without bond in the Greenville County Detention Center, while Ramey awaited extradition to South Carolina.

Detectives uncovered video evidence during the investigation showing Seth Norris and his brother Joshua Norris attacking several homeless individuals, a related series of crimes noted by authorities. Any readers who knew Garrett or have information about the shooting or the linked attacks are asked to come forward.
