Woman who thought she was buying a puppy was ambushed by trio who burned and shot her to death, sheriff says

Soon, the Florence County Coroner's Office was also called to the scene of the crime. The woman appeared to have been shot and then set on fire inside the vehicle, officials said. "Supposedly, they went there together," Florence County Sheriff TJ Joye told WMBF. The Kinlaw murder is now being investigated as a reprisal killing in response to a different murder that occurred some 35 miles away. Fleming and Thomas were the first arrested and are detained in the Florence County Detention Center where they are awaiting a bond hearing.
