Authorities report that a 10th teenager is expected to turn themselves in following the tragic death of 16-year-old Trey Dean Wright in Florence County, South Carolina. Wright was fatally shot on June 24 in a remote area outside Johnsonville, an incident that investigators describe as a planned setup. He had reportedly been brought to the location by his girlfriend, Gianna Kistenmacher, where he encountered a group of teens.

Devan Scott Raper, 19, has been charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. Officials say Raper had previously threatened Wright and fired multiple rounds during the altercation, leading to Wright’s death the following day. Raper remains in jail without bond. Kistenmacher, Wright’s girlfriend, has also been charged with accessory before the fact and was released to home confinement.

In addition to Raper and Kistenmacher, several other teens have faced charges for their alleged roles in facilitating the shooting. Authorities say the group was aware that Raper was armed and may have helped lead Wright to the location. Some of the accused are adults, while others are minors whose names have not been publicly released.

Law enforcement emphasized that the arrests were made after careful investigation. Florence County Sheriff’s Office officials noted that many of those charged were involved in bringing Raper to the scene, knowing a confrontation could occur. The sheriff highlighted the tragedy of a young life lost over a personal dispute, stressing the seriousness of the case and its impact on the community.
