The Sumter County Sheriff's Office says deputies have arrested a suspect in the shooting death of a man found in his Sumter County maintenance shop.
Deputies have arrested and charged Priscilla Graves, 30, with one count each of murder and conspiracy to commit armed robbery after Willie McDuffie was found dead in his maintenance shop on Airport Road in Sumter. She was taken into custody July 28 and initially charged with conspiracy related to an armed robbery plan.
Deputies say Graves told McDuffie she wanted to meet him at his shop to discuss issues with her car. It's believed she then conspired with another person to rob McDuffie.
Officials say McDuffie was robbed of a large sum of cash and shot several times. McDuffie's body was found the next morning prior to his shop opening.
Graves' bond has been denied.
She is being held at the Sumter County Jail until a circuit court appearance at a later date.
