A visit between acquaintances at the Wilmaranne Apartments on Broad Street in Sumter, South Carolina, ended in gunfire and death. On October 22, 2021, 33-year-old Shameka Nathaniel of Lynchburg was at the complex when an argument with another woman escalated into a physical fight and a single, fatal gunshot. Officers arrived about 1:30 a.m. and found Nathaniel wounded; she was treated at the scene and taken to Prisma Health Tuomey Hospital, where she died shortly after arrival.

A 29-year-old woman, Anissa Rena Robinson, exited one of the apartments and identified herself as the shooter; she was taken into custody and charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. Both Nathaniel and Robinson had been visiting a resident of the apartment complex when the dispute began. An autopsy was scheduled to determine the official cause of death.

If anyone witnessed the incident or knew Nathaniel’s movements that night, please come forward with information.
