The Pine Ridge Police Department is currently investigating an incident that occurred around midnight on 12/21/06.  Homeowners had just gone to bed when they heard their alarm go off.  The homeowner went to the front door and observed someone standing at his front door.  The door was standing open and a suspect was standing at the front door.  The suspect ran from the  scene before the homeowner could take any action.  The Police Department investigation indicates that there were two suspects involved and that the suspects went through the victims vehicles and obtained several sets of keys that were left in the vehicles.  The suspects then used the keys to unlock the front door.  Several items were left in the vehicles that could have been taken, including a diamond ring, yet nothing is missing.  It seems the suspects were after cash only.  The suspects used a stolen vehicle to get to the incident location which was stolen from the Wild Meadows Mobile Home Community located at the 4000 block of Fish Hatchery Road.  The suspects stole a second vehicle from the incident area in order to get back home.  The second vehicle was located about 1 mile from the Wild Meadows Community.  A call was received by dispatch around 4:00 a.m. by a woman who saw two males get into another vehicle parked across the street from where the second stolen vehicle was located.  Another witness saw two young white males standing at the gate to the victims property at around 11:30 p.m.

Detectives with the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department and Richland County Sheriff’s Department are seeking help from citizens in Lexington and Richland counties in finding two men who are wanted by the Richland County Sheriff’s Department on arrest warrants for murder.
Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts said the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department and Richland County Sheriff’s Department are conducting a joint investigation concerning the death of a 27-year-old Columbia man whom investigators think was killed in Richland County. The man’s body was found in the trunk of a car that had been abandoned in Lexington County.
Lexington County Coroner Harry O. Harman said results of an autopsy that was performed on October 20, 2005 on the body of McQuay Stepphon Dawkins, 27, of 1505 Blue Ridge Terrace, Columbia, show that Dawkins died from asphyxiation caused by suffocation. The coroner ruled the death was a homicide.
The motive for the homicide remains under investigation, according to Metts and Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott. Lexington County sheriff’s detectives worked in cooperation with Richland County sheriff’s detectives to identify the two men who killed Dawkins.
Richland County sheriff’s detectives obtained arrest warrants on a murder charge for Ceasar Everette “Spyder” Johnson, 30, of 120 Blackberry Lane, Swansea, and Elliott Terrell Smalls, 32, of 102 Ferrell Drive, Columbia, Lott said. Investigators think Johnson and Smalls killed Dawkins in Richland County and transported Dawkins’ body to Lexington County.

Dawkins’ body was found on October 19, 2005 in the trunk of a car that had been abandoned under electrical power transmission lines off Preston Street near Gaston, Metts said. Citizens who were riding on a golf cart saw a blue 2001 Chevrolet Impala abandoned off Preston Street and reported the suspicious vehicle to law enforcement at about 2:13 p.m. on October 19.
Metts and Lott asked anyone with information about the whereabouts of Johnson and Smalls to call the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department at (803) 785-8230, the Richland County Sheriff’s Department at (803) 576-3000 or CrimeStoppers at 1-888-559-TIPS.
