A Friday afternoon shooting in Sumter, South Carolina, ended the life of 28-year-old Ante Lavern Witherspoon on July 15, 2016. Police found Witherspoon’s body outside a residence on Dibert Street just after 4 p.m.; an autopsy determined he suffered multiple gunshot wounds. He was a Sumter resident and a graduate of Sumter High School.

Authorities identified 28-year-old Bernie Peoples III as the alleged shooter and issued a murder warrant; Peoples surrendered to the Sumter Police Department the next day and was held at the Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center. Investigators also sought five other men for questioning in connection with a July 13 mob assault: Dontrell Devontae Dean, 22; Tavoris Lamont Gaillard, 22; Kennan Alonza Georgia, 24; Bernard Colin Peoples, 22; and Arkeylin Keytron Scott, 23, with warrants for third-degree assault and battery by a mob.

If anyone knew Ante, the events on Dibert Street that week, or has information about the July 13 assault, please come forward.
