Constance Sierra Kerns, 33, was found shot to death on October 25, 2021, in Dillon County, South Carolina. She was discovered in a car alongside 31-year-old Michelle Chavis of the Orrum community after the vehicle, driven by Chavis, had crashed into a tree in the Riverdale community near the intersection of Vanderhall Road and Alice Court. Both women sustained fatal gunshot wounds described by investigators as the result of a premeditated act.

The investigation identified 21-year-old Jamir Covington of Dillon as the shooter. At a sentencing hearing Covington confessed to shooting both Kerns and Chavis and said he had told them their meal that day would be their last. Covington was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Kerns left three children; her mother addressed the court and said Kerns s death contributed to her husband s passing and that she is now raising the grandchildren.

If anyone knew Constance Kerns or has information about the events of October 25, 2021, please come forward.
