On the morning of Saturday, August 27, 2016, 24-year-old Magaiteh Jacqueline Dolo was found dead inside her Northeast Richland home on Brandon Hall Road. Her father, 55-year-old Dunber Dolo, was found on the front lawn of a neighboring residence; both had suffered gunshot wounds to the upper body.

Investigators tied the killings to an ongoing domestic dispute and identified Magaiteh’s ex-boyfriend, 25-year-old Willie Jerome Wilson, as the primary suspect. Authorities say Wilson forced entry through a rear door, shot both victims, then fled in Magaiteh’s car after taking her cellphone. Wilson was located and taken into custody the next day at an acquaintance’s home and charged with two counts of murder, first-degree burglary, and armed robbery; bond on the armed robbery charge was denied.

Magaiteh was born in Staten Island and raised in Columbia, South Carolina, graduated from North East Side High School, and attended Midlands Technical College. Friends described her as sweet, generous, quiet but goofy, and close to her father, with whom she helped run his businesses.
