William Rual Ramirez was 19 when he was found dead on January 27, 2019, at the terminus of Lakeside Road near Interstate 85 in Greenville, South Carolina. Utility workers discovered his body; the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office determined he had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and ruled the death a homicide.
Events began the day before, January 26, when Ramirez, accompanied by Niklaus Anthony Bennett and others, took part in a robbery at the Fleetwood Manor Apartments during which 21-year-old Jamell Wingfield was shot and killed. On January 27 Ramirez was driven to a secluded spot at the end of Lakeside Road by Bennett and Stephon Rasheid Sherman, and both men shot and killed him.
Ramirez and Bennett had recently been released from prison and were under intensive supervision; Ramirez’s prior sentence ran from January 23, 2017, to January 15, 2019, for second-degree burglary, criminal conspiracy, breaking into a vehicle, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. Bennett and Sherman were later arrested; Bennett was charged with two counts of murder and two counts of possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and Sherman was charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
Does anyone have information about the events around late January 2019 or knew Ramirez, Bennett, Sherman, or Wingfield?
