Michael Andy McMillan, a 30-year-old Black man, was found fatally shot inside a Blue Ribbon cab parked in front of a vacant house on Double Branch Road in West Columbia, South Carolina. A resident reported the suspicious vehicle the morning of August 18, 2016; officers discovered McMillan’s body and the cab was towed as evidence in a homicide investigation.

Within weeks the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department announced arrests. Roscoe Holmes III, 23, of West Columbia was identified as the primary suspect and charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. Eighteen-year-old Jakashia Gracie McPherson of Cayce was arrested and charged with accessory before the fact to murder; investigators said she had discussed obtaining a firearm with Holmes before the shooting and that evidence linked Holmes to the scene and to McMillan.

Authorities remained interested in any additional information that could clarify the circumstances of McMillan’s death. If anyone knew Michael, saw the cab on Double Branch Road that morning, or has relevant information, please come forward.
