Orangeburg, S.C. (WOLO) — More than a year after the quadruple homicide in Holly Hill, three suspects have been arrested in connection with the crime.
Sheriff Leroy Ravenell described the scene as one of the most gruesome crimes he’d ever seen four people, including two teens, shot dead execution style.
On Thursday the Orangeburg Sheriff announced the arrests of Derrick Coleman, Antly Scott and Robert Bailey.
The three suspects are each facing four counts of murder, one count of attempted murder as well as other charges.
According to Ravenell the three shot and killed Jerome Butler, Krystal Hutto, Shamekia Sanders and Tamara Perry and attempted to kill 8 year old Dreamzz Nelson on July 15th 2015.
Authorities say Coleman and Scott were arrested in Baldwin County, Alabama while Robert Bailey was taken into custody in Euwtaville, South Carolina.
Bailey proclaimed his innocence to Judge Donald West during his first appearance in court where he was formally charged with the victims’ family looking on.
“You’re gonna see I’m innocent,” Bailey said repeatedly.
Bailey’s bond will be set at a later date.
Coleman and Scott are currently being extradited back to South Carolina.
Sheriff Ravenell says this is still an ongoing investigation and there could be more charges pending.
