[FoxNews] Trey Dean Wright, 16, was allegedly set up; 19-year-old romantic rival charged.
Nine South Carolina teens were arrested in the June shooting death of a 16-year-old who authorities say was involved in an argument "over a girl" with his alleged shooter, according to local reports. The victim's 17-year-old girlfriend is among the suspects.
Florence County Sheriff's deputies found Trey Dean Wright of Johnsonville dead on First Neck Road with multiple gunshot wounds June 24, authorities said previously. He was found about 45 miles west of Myrtle Beach.
The following day, they arrested Devan Scott Raper, a 19-year-old from Conway, who allegedly fatally shot Wright after an argument. At least one teen involved reportedly recorded the slaying on video. And deputies continued to announce new arrests for weeks as the investigation dug deeper.
Now, an entire group of teens, many of them juveniles, are facing charges, some for allegedly setting Wright up and bringing Raper to the victim's location, knowing he was armed, according to authorities.
One of the suspects was Wright's girlfriend, Gianna Kistenmacher, a Myrtle Beach 17-year-old, his mother said.
Kistenmacher was charged with being an accessory before the fact for allegedly bringing Raper to the crime scene knowing he was both armed and likely to kill her boyfriend, according to a press release from the sheriff's office.
"They were complicit in bringing the armed codefendant, Raper, to the incident location and knowing that there would be a confrontation," Maj. Michael Nunn of the Florence County Sheriff's Office told WBTW-TV, which is based in Florence. "They knew that Raper had presented a firearm to the victim and made threats to shoot him, according to the arrest warrants."
He told the Post and Courier separately that, under state law, all five are charged as adults.
Prosecutors filed additional murder charges against three more Myrtle Beach-area teens, identified as 18-year-olds Hunter Kendall and Corrine Belviso and 17-year-old Sydney Kearns, according to WBTW.
"The hand of one being the hand of all is part of South Carolina law as well, so that’s the basis of the charge for each of those individuals," Nunn told the station.
Sheriff T.J. Joye told the station separately that the fatal shooting appeared to have stemmed from an argument and apparent romantic rivalry.
"They had issues with each other, and it was over a female," he reportedly said. "The sad thing is, you got a 16-year-old that lost his life. You’ve got a 19-year-old who is going to be in jail the rest of his life. Over what?"
Raper faces charges of murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime and is being held without bond.
Kendall is also being held without bond.
Belviso and Kearns each posted $20,000 surety bonds last week and have been released pending a trial.

The incident involved an F-15 from the 104th Fighter Wing and video footage shows what appears to be the passenger moving on the ground after being ejected, the Air Force Times reported on Thursday.
The passenger was reportedly a recruiting officer. A recruiting officer who missed the briefing about the funny-looking handle?
