Greenville County Shakes with Tragic Murder Case

Greenville County is reeling after the shocking murder of Lewis Anthony Polk, who was tragically shot and killed at his home on November 2. Authorities were quick to spring into action, leading to the arrest of three individuals connected to this heartbreaking incident.

Arrests Made

On the day of the incident, law enforcement officers from the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office (GCSO) and the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office joined forces to arrest Tybloshie Shunquavius Rayquan Tate, aged 24, and Jimeika Lakeshia Williams, 41, in Anderson County. Shortly after, a third suspect, Omarien Raykel Anderson, 17, was apprehended in Greenville County.

A Closer Look at the Incident

The investigation has revealed that all three suspects lived together in the same apartment. Tensions ran high, and, unfortunately, a dispute escalated, leading Tate to shoot Polk. In a twist of fate, Tate also suffered a gunshot wound during the altercation, as did Williams. The exact circumstances surrounding their injuries remain under investigation, leaving many questions unanswered.

What Happens Next?

Once in custody, all three individuals were taken to the Greenville County Detention Center. The charges vary for each suspect based on their involvement:

  • Tybloshie Shunquavius Rayquan Tate is facing serious charges including Murder, Possession of a Weapon during a Violent Crime, and Possession with Intent to Distribute Marijuana (2nd Offense). What’s more, he’s also charged with having a firearm after previous convictions for certain crimes.
