On November 30, 2015, two young men were found shot to death inside a car on Larson Road in Summerville, South Carolina. The victims were 22-year-old Jamal Xavier Armstrong, a Black male, and his friend 23-year-old Tyrell Jamar Miles. Authorities classified both deaths as a double homicide.

Investigators focused on one suspect, James Alfonza Biggs III, who was arrested and charged with two counts of murder. At trial prosecutors relied on substantial circumstantial evidence, including witness testimony placing Biggs’s vehicle at the scene, testimony that witnesses heard gunshots and then saw Biggs flee, and other trial evidence the jury found convincing. The jury convicted Biggs on both counts and he received two concurrent life sentences; an appeal later affirmed the convictions.

The motive for the killings remains unclear. If anyone knew Jamal Armstrong, Tyrell Miles, or has information about what happened on Larson Road that night, please come forward.
