Jamell Shikeem Mell Wingfield, 21, was shot in the parking lot of the Fleetwood Manor Apartments in Greenville, South Carolina, on the evening of January 26, 2019. Deputies arrived just before 8:30 p.m.; he was taken to Greenville Memorial Hospital and died during surgery about 9:45 p.m. The shooting was investigated as part of a robbery. Authorities say a group went to the complex intending to rob someone and that William Ramirez fired the shot that killed Wingfield.

The case took another violent turn the next day when Ramirez was found murdered. Investigators allege that accomplices Niklaus Anthony Bennett and Stephon Rasheid Sherman drove Ramirez under the pretense of another robbery and then shot him. The Greenville County Sheriff’s Office arrested Bennett and Sherman; Bennett has been charged in connection with both deaths and Sherman has been charged in Ramirez’s killing.

Anyone with information about the shootings or who knew Jamell is asked to come forward.
