From WYFF Greenville (wyff4.com):
GREENVILLE COUNTY, S.C. —
Almost a year after an armed robbery left a man dead, and a suspect in that robbery was killed the next day, Greenville County deputies said Wednesday they are still looking for the gunman in the second shooting.
Deputies re-released a photo of Stephon Sherman, 21, and asked for the public's help in finding him.
Sherman and two other people gunned down William Ramirez, 19, in January inside his car on Lakeside Road, according to deputies.
The day before, Ramirez and another man robbed and shot Jamel Wingfield several times, killing him at the Fleetwood Manor Apartments, on Fleetwood Drive, deputies said.
The other two men have since been arrested, deputies said.
Sherman is wanted on two general sessions bench warrants for murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
Investigators ask for anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers of Greenville at 23-CRIME, or 864-232-7463.

Thoughts? Based on local online articles, Sherman was still at large at least as of December 2019 which os recent enough to have me reasonably assume he is still at large as of this posting date (January 13th, 2020). Of course, if that status has has changed or changes in the future, anyone is more than welcome to let us know.
Also, I'm going to have to be honest in that I don't exactly feel sorry for the victim. I apologize if I misread it but Ramirez apparenlty robbed and killed someone the previous day. However I always try to stress in cases like this that you can not feel sorry for the victim and still not condone their murder. Sherman had no right to allegdly illegally take anyone's life- be it a choir boy or serial killer- unless in self-defense. Despite being a fugitive, Sherman is entitled the presumption of innocence and/or a self-defense claim like any other defendant if he is caught or turns himself in, however if he is in fact guilty of premeditated murder and capable of the violence allegedly displayed, it's only a matter of time before an innocent victim gets caught in the crossfire, which makes his apprehension important.
