Trey Dean Wright, 16, was killed on the night of June 24, 2025, after being lured to a remote spot off a country road in Florence County, South Carolina. He was reportedly brought there to meet his 17-year-old girlfriend, Gianna Kistenmacher, but instead encountered a group of teenagers and suffered multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a nearby hospital and died shortly after arrival.

Investigators say a dispute over Kistenmacher between Wright and 19-year-old Devan Scott Raper culminated in a premeditated plot. Authorities allege Kistenmacher knowingly led Wright into the confrontation and that Raper, who previously threatened Wright with a gun, fired the shots. At least one teen present is reported to have filmed the encounter.

Raper faces murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime charges and was denied bond. Kistenmacher was charged as an accessory before the fact. Several others, including 18-year-olds Hunter Kendall and Corrine Belviso and 17-year-old Sydney Kearns, are charged with murder; four additional minors are charged but not named. Some accused have been released on bond with conditions.

Did anyone in Florence County know Trey, Gianna, or any of the teens involved and have information that could help explain how the situation escalated?
