On a September evening in the Cherryvale community of Sumter, South Carolina, 22-year-old Michael Sigler Jr. was shot while walking with his father and 19-year-old Christopher Antonio Thompson. A vehicle pulled up alongside them and multiple gunshots were fired from within; both Sigler and Thompson were struck and later died at a local hospital. Sigler’s father, who was present, was unharmed.

Investigators determined the vehicle had been reported stolen from a Sumter County residence days earlier. The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office identified three suspects. Sierra Renee Wilson was arrested November 12 and charged with grand larceny, financial transaction card theft, and two counts of murder. On November 13 Armonie Freeman was arrested and charged with possession of a stolen vehicle, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, criminal conspiracy, two counts of murder, obstruction of justice, and drug-related offenses. Trayvuane Scott was identified as the driver and was captured after a brief foot chase; evidence tying the stolen vehicle to the killings was recovered.

The motive has not been released. If anyone knew Michael Sigler Jr. or has information about the shooting, please share what is known with investigators.
