Tanya Michelle Richards, 35, was found dead inside her vehicle on July 22, 2018, outside Phresh Threads, the fashion boutique she co-owned in Wellford, Spartanburg County. The Spartanburg County Coroner’s Office determined she died of a gunshot wound to the head.
Authorities arrested Derrick Burnside, 45, Richards’ business partner and the father of one of her children, and charged him with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. Investigators described the killing as connected to a domestic dispute; Richards and Burnside had been in a long-term relationship and lived together for several years. Richards was also a 2001 graduate of James F. Byrnes High School, a supervisor at Adidas, and a mother of two.
Does anyone who knew Tanya or observed activity around Phresh Threads in July 2018 have information that could help clarify what happened?
