Two South Carolina teens have been arrested in connection with the shooting death of a 16-year-old boy last week.

Devan Raper, 19, has been charged with murder in the death of Trey Wright in Johnsonville on June 24. Raper was arrested on Wednesday and charged with murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime, the Florence County Sheriff’s Office said.

This week, deputies arrested 17-year-old Gianna Helene Kistenmacher, accusing her of driving Raper to the spot where he gunned down Wright. She was charged with accessory before the fact, the sheriff’s office said.

Florence County Sheriff’s Office Major Mike Dunn told WBTW that Kistenmacher brought Raper to Johnsonville knowing he was armed “and that there would be a confrontation for violence likely to lead to death based on statements made in her presence.”

Sheriff TJ Joye told the station that Raper and Wright had a dispute over a girl and that the shooting was captured on video.

“This was an altercation between two people. It’s not like I’m just going to go to Johnsonville and shoot somebody. They had issues with each other and it was over a female,” Joye 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 and Kistenmacher have both been denied bond. Raper is scheduled for a first appearance in General Sesions court on August 19.

The sheriff’s office said they responded to the shooting at about 11:30 p.m. on June 24 and found Wright lying in the road with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Investigators say more arrests and additional charges are possible.
