South Carolina woman shot, set on fire after being lured to fake puppy sale, police say

A South Carolina woman was shot and her body set on fire after she was lured to what police said was a fake puppy sale, authorities said.Two suspects, Iryanna Jarissa Fleming, 19, and Daquinn Taheen Thomas, 31, were arrested on January 23 and charged with murder, first-degree arson and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime, according to jail records. Authorities said the investigation was ongoing and additional charges could be filed, Fox News reported.Florence County Sheriff TJ Joye told Fox News Digital in a phone interview that Dana Kinlaw, 40, was lured by Fleming, a friend, to a rural house under the pretense of buying a puppy. She was then shot in the head before a liquid substance was poured on her body and ignited inside the vehicle.Deputies were called to Atlantic Road near Springbranch Road in Effingham, South Carolina, on Jan. 22 where a vehicle was found on fire with a deceased person inside.Joye told Fox News Digital that investigators believed the killing was an act of retaliation tied to another murder in neighbouring Darlington County in which Kinlaw’s son was believed to have been involved.WMBF News reported that a third suspect, Nikko Carraway, 31, was arrested on Wednesday and faced the same charges as Fleming and Thomas. All three were being held without bond.
