McKenize Corey Stewart, 42, was killed during a reported home invasion and attempted armed robbery at his Dingle Street residence in Sumter, South Carolina, in the pre-dawn hours of September 30, 2019. At about 2:47 a.m., two people forced entry, demanded money, and shots were fired. Stewart suffered multiple gunshot wounds and died after being taken to Prisma Health Tuomey Hospital.

No suspect descriptions were released immediately, but tips from the public led to arrests in January 2020. Between January 9 and 10, three teenagers — ages 15, 16 and 17 — were arrested; investigators say two entered the home while the third remained outside. A fourth suspect, a 16-year-old, was later taken into custody. All four were charged with murder, first-degree burglary, conspiracy and possession of a weapon during a violent crime and were held in a juvenile facility. The robbery reportedly yielded a small amount of money and other items from Stewart’s home.
