Six illegal immigrants, including minors as young as 13, have been charged with the “random” murder of a South Carolina mom — a crime the local sheriff said “defies any sense of decency in a civilized society.”
The five teens and a 21-year-old suspected shooter were busted Monday, 10 days after the body of Larisha Sharrell Thompson, 40, was found fatally shot behind the wheel of her Honda Accord.
The mom of two was gunned down in a “random robbery attempt” as she drove to meet friends in Rock Hill, according to investigators.
“This shooting defies any sense of decency in a civilized society. Ms Thompson was going about her business on a Friday night, not bothering anyone,” Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile raged
“All of a sudden, these six men and boys — out to get something for nothing from someone they did not know and had no business bothering — pulled alongside her car” and killed Thompson, he alleged.
“There’s no place in our society for acts like this or the people who commit them, and my hope is these six are never again among us.”
The suspects were busted after the 9mm pistol used to kill Thompson was linked to a burglary days earlier, with the suspects caught by surveillance footage, the sheriff said. --->READ MORE HERE

Sheriff Faile described Thompson's murder as a 'random robbery attempt'
Authorities in Lancaster, South Carolina, have charged six illegal immigrants between the ages of 13 and 21 in connection with the "random" May 2 murder of a mother who was driving to meet friends in Rock Hill.
Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office deputies located Larisha Sharrell Thompson, 40, deceased with a gunshot wound behind the wheel of her vehicle on Riverside Road in Lancaster, which is located about an hour south of Charlotte, North Carolina.
On May 12, authorities announced the arrests of three adults, including Asael Aminadas Torres-Chirinos, 21; Jarby Ardon Ramos-Odari, 18; Jeyson Sobied Pineda-Salgado, 17; and three juveniles, ages 13, 14 and 15, in connection with Thompson's death and a separate burglary that occurred on April 30.
"This shooting defies any sense of decency in a civilized society," Lancaster Sheriff Barry Faile said in a Monday statement. "Ms. Thompson was going about her business on a Friday night, not bothering anyone. All of a sudden, these six men and boys — out to get something for nothing from someone they did not know and had no business bothering — pulled alongside her car, and Torres-Chirinos opened fire, killing Ms. Thompson. There’s no place in our society for acts like this or the people who commit them, and my hope is these six are never again among us."
The Department of Homeland Security has placed detainers on all six individuals charged, Faile said during a press conference, adding that the community is a "much safer place today because these six individuals are off the streets."
Faile alleged that the suspects pulled up alongside Thompson, fatally shot her in what authorities described as a "random robbery attempt." Authorities believe all six suspects were in the same vehicle with Torres-Chirinos, who was driving and allegedly fired the fatal shot at Thompson. They are accused of attempting to enter her vehicle and then fleeing the scene upon realizing that it was locked. --->READ MORE HERE
