Antwon Carmichael Obituary, Death: Four Arrested After Orangeburg County Teen Found Dead Along South Carolina Roadside
A tragic multi-agency investigation has led to the arrest of four individuals in connection with the death of 18-year-old Antwon Carmichael, an Orangeburg County teen whose body was discovered abandoned along a roadside in South Carolina.
According to the Dorchester County Sheriff’s Office, Carmichael’s body was found on August 3, wrapped in white bedding along White House Pond Road in the Rosinville area. Deputies were initially alerted to what was described as a “suspicious package resembling a body.” Upon arrival, authorities confirmed the grim discovery, though Carmichael’s identity was not immediately known.
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) joined the investigation and released a forensic sketch on August 7 to assist with identification. Six days later, investigators confirmed the victim was Carmichael. Further inquiries revealed that he had died at a residence on 36 Peppertree Lane on or about August 2.
On Thursday, authorities arrested four suspects:
* **Jay Kirkland Sneed**, 40 – charged with murder, accessory before the fact to the desecration of human remains, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
* **Jessicle Mirclelynn Williams**, 34 – charged with murder and accessory before the fact to the desecration of human remains.
* **Shaquanan Lashia Frayer**, 37 – charged with accessory after the fact to murder and desecration of human remains.
* **Antoine Johmar Lott**, 40 – charged with accessory after the fact to murder and desecration of human remains.
The Dorchester County Sheriff’s Office expressed gratitude to SLED, the Dorchester County Coroner’s Office, multiple county sheriff’s departments, federal partners, and the North Charleston Police Department for their crucial assistance in evidence collection and arrests.
