Six Migrants Charged in South Carolina Mother's Killing; Investigators Report Messages About the Crime

  • Six illegal immigrants from Honduras were charged in May 2025 with murdering South Carolina mother Larisha Sharell Thompson in Lancaster County.
  • The suspects, including three minors aged 13 to 15, allegedly fatally shot Thompson after attempting to rob her vehicle during a random robbery attempt.
  • Authorities linked the shooting to a burglary two days prior by the same group using the same 9 mm handgun, with Asael Torres-Chirinos identified as the shooter and ringleader.
  • Lancaster Sheriff Barry Faile described the crime as defying decency in a civilized society and said the community is safer with the suspects detained under detainers placed by Homeland Security.
  • Local prosecutors plan to vigorously pursue justice, with potential death penalty for Torres-Chirinos, while defense attorneys claim coercion and the defendants show no remorse per court documents.
