James Lamont Thomas was 19 when he was fatally shot on the evening of July 5, 2020, at The Rowan apartments in Columbia, South Carolina, a complex that housed many college students. Deputies from the Richland County Sheriff’s Department found Thomas with a gunshot wound to his upper body; he was taken to a local hospital and later died of his injuries.

Investigators quickly focused on a suspect and sought 23-year-old Tony Marquell Trapp, describing him as armed and dangerous and circulating images of a 2020 silver Toyota Camry with damage to the left rear quarter panel and paper tags; authorities believed Trapp was a passenger in that car. Trapp turned himself in on July 22, 2020, and was arrested and charged with Thomas’s murder. He also faced unrelated charges including aggravated breach of peace, malicious injury to real property, and instigating, aiding, or participating in a riot.

Did anyone in the Columbia area see activity around The Rowan on July 5, 2020, or have information about the car or its occupants?
