On the evening of March 3, 2023, Ernesto A. Blanco, 53, and his son Kevin Ernesto Blanco were found shot to death inside their family-owned dealership, Los Amigos Car Sales, on U.S. 29 in Williamston, South Carolina. The pair were discovered after they failed to appear for a scheduled car sale and deputies conducted a welfare check at about 7 p.m. Both deaths were ruled homicides and prompted an intensive investigation.

Detectives identified a person of interest the same evening and located a suspect in nearby Greenville. Shamacus Tyrel Adams, 29, of Anderson, was taken into custody and charged with two counts of murder, one count of armed robbery, and one count of possession of a weapon during a violent crime. He was booked into the Anderson County Detention Center as the community mourned the loss.

If anyone has information about the events at Los Amigos Car Sales on March 3, 2023, please come forward.
