Sherman Armand Sims, 32, was one of two people killed in a motel room in Spartanburg County on the afternoon of December 12, 2024. Deputies were sent to the HomeTowne Studios on Mobile Drive after a woman placed a 911 call saying she had shot two people; officers found Sims and 38-year-old Susan Marie Gonzalez with multiple gunshot wounds and both were pronounced dead at the scene.

A 30-year-old woman, Kayla Michelle Benton of Sunset Circle, was located nearby and taken into custody for questioning. Benton told investigators she acted in self-defense, but authorities reported that the evidence at the motel did not support that claim. Benton was charged with two counts of murder and related weapons offenses and booked into the Spartanburg County Detention Center.

Sims was remembered by friends and family as happy and joyful with a deep love for his family. Does anyone have information about Sherman’s movements or the people he was with before December 12, 2024?
