In Lancaster, South Carolina, six illegal immigrants aged between 13 and 21 have been charged in the murder of 40-year-old Larisha Sharrell Thompson, who was shot while driving. The tragedy occurred on May 2, during what authorities term a "random robbery attempt." Sheriff Barry Faile condemned the act as an affront to civil society and emphasized that the community is now safer. The suspects, allegedly in the same vehicle at the time, reportedly attempted to enter Thompson's locked car before the shooting took place. Homeland Security has issued detainers on the suspects.
This shooting defies any sense of decency in a civilized society. Ms. Thompson was going about her business on a Friday night, not bothering anyone. All of a sudden, these six men and boys - out to get something for nothing from someone they did not know and had no business bothering - pulled alongside her car, and Torres-Chirinos opened fire, killing Ms. Thompson. There's no place in our society for acts like this or the people who commit them, and my hope is these six are never again among us.
The Department of Homeland Security has placed detainers on all six individuals charged, Faile said during a press conference, adding that the community is a 'much safer place today because these six individuals are off the streets.'
