Christina McVay, 44, and her 6-year-old son, Colin, were shot inside their home on Mosteller Drive in Lancaster, South Carolina. The family had been sheltering a man they met at church, 24-year-old Jacob Tyler Sobieraj, who was living in their garage because he was homeless. Deputies arriving at the scene encountered Sobieraj armed in the yard; an exchange of gunfire followed and Sobieraj was fatally shot by officers. No law enforcement officers were injured.

Christina and Colin were transported to a hospital; Colin died the next day and Christina died on Thursday, March 13. The motive for the shootings has not been reported, and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is handling the investigation into the officer-involved shooting.

Did anyone in the Lancaster area know the McVay family, Colin, or Sobieraj and have information about how he came to be staying with them?
