A man and a woman have been accused of fatally shooting two men in separate incidents late last year.
The Lexington County Sheriff’s Department arrested and charged Allon Triante Adams, 22, and Cady Elise Keener, 19, with counts of murder, armed robbery and desecration of human remains, among other charges, officials said.
Devon Tricoche, a 30-year-old Aiken resident, was shot to death Nov. 28, 2023 , in the 600 block of Kestrel Drive in Leesville.
Tricoche’s body was recovered from the Edisto River near a boat ramp at the South Fork Edisto Boat Landing, according to a news release from the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office. At the time, Aiken Coroner Darryl Ables determined Tricoche had been shot at least once. The gunshot was thought to be the cause of death, not drowning.
Evidence gathered by detectives pointed to Adams and Keener as suspects, Lexington Sheriff Jay Koon said in a news release.
“Detectives have determined Adams and Keener moved Tricoche’s body from the Kestrel Drive scene and discarded it at an Edisto River boat landing in Aiken County,” Koon said.
