Democrats will protest

The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office arrested three adults and detained three juveniles after a woman was shot and killed in her car.

Larisha Sharell Thompson's family found her inside her car, suffering a gunshot wound, on the side of Riverside Road on May 2. Paramedics said Thompson was dead upon their arrival.

LCSO launched an investigation and arrested 21-year-old Asael Aminadas Torres-Chirinos, 18-year-old Jarby Ardon Ramos-Odari, and 17-year-old Jeyson Sobied Pineda-Salgado.

Deputies detained a 15-year-old, a 14-year-old, and a 13-year-old. The juveniles will have detention hearings within a Family Court this week.

The suspects were identified as a group that attempted to break into the Van Wyck Mart on April 30, near where Thompson's body was found, reports said. Reports say Torres-Chirinos was identified through surveillance footage as being present at the attempted break-in.

LCSO and the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice have placed immigration detainers on all six suspects.

Officials said none of the suspects should have been in the United States. Despite their immigration status, courts will move forward with prosecuting their cases.
