On Sunday, March 25, 2018, 19-year-old Lamekia Mo’Asia Warren was found dead inside a home on Priscilla Lane in Varnville, South Carolina. A recent Wade Hampton High School graduate remembered for her radiant smile and skill at doing hair, Lamekia was discovered alongside two other victims, 24-year-old Ghazi Abdul Duckett and 32-year-old Frankie Lee Johnson, Jr. Duckett and Johnson had been shot in the head; Lamekia suffered more than 30 gunshot wounds to her neck, chest, legs, and arms.

Investigators traced the killings to two local men, Tyrase Akil Collins and Lorenzo Boles. Searches of Collins’ home on Crews Street recovered at least three firearms tied to the murders, including a Draco-style semi-automatic pistol that belonged to Johnson. Another recovered gun was ballistically linked to casings at the scene, and a firearm associated with Duckett was also found. Johnson’s blood was later identified in a red Dodge Charger regularly driven by Boles.

Does anyone have information about Lamekia’s life in Varnville or about the events leading up to that March night?
