On the morning of May 3, 2019, 18-year-old Margaret Danielle Blanding, who was pregnant, was found shot to death outside an apartment at Fairview Gardens Apartments on Williamston Road in Anderson, South Carolina. Her death was ruled a homicide. Investigators also found 23-year-old Ezquiel Estrich shot dead inside an apartment; police believed the two may have been in a relationship.
Shortly after the shootings, officers near the complex saw a vehicle speed away. A high-speed chase crossed into Hart County, Georgia, and ended when the suspect vehicle began to spark. Two men were taken into custody at that time: 21-year-old Brandon Omar Cullins and 31-year-old Demetrius Kentrell Mark. Arrest warrants state Cullins shot Blanding in the upper left chest and shot Estrich multiple times in the chest and leg. Mark was charged as an accessory after the fact for allegedly helping dispose of the handgun used in the shootings.
What additional details do readers have about Margaret, her activities that night, or anyone who might know more about these events?
