Sydni McMillan Collins, a 46-year-old Black woman, and her husband Aaron AC Collins were shot and killed while riding motorcycles along Parklane Road in Columbia, South Carolina, on the night of July 27, 2017. Both sustained fatal gunshot wounds to the upper body and were pronounced dead at a local hospital. The attack followed an earlier altercation at a bike club event and was later described as originating from a dispute between rival motorcycle clubs.

Investigators traced the incident to Ricardo Laroy Middleton, a member of a rival club. Prosecutors say Middleton followed the Collinses and another rider, Ricky Montgomery; after a confrontation Middleton attacked Montgomery and then opened fire on Sydni and Aaron Collins. Middleton was arrested in August 2017 and faced charges including murder and attempted murder. A jury convicted Middleton of the murder of Sydni McMillan Collins; the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict on Aaron Collinss murder charge and acquitted Middleton of the attempted murder charge related to Montgomery.

Does anyone have information about the July 27, 2017 ride along Parklane Road or the events at the bike club meeting a week earlier?
