In a quiet home on Wren Road in Newberry, South Carolina, a grim discovery was made on a Sunday evening in November 2021. Concerned family members, unable to get in contact with the homeowner, requested that authorities perform a wellness check. Responding to the call, deputies from the Newberry County Sheriff's Office entered the residence to find a tragic scene.
Inside the home, they found the bodies of two men, 30-year-old Romario Fabian Salas-Mejia, a male, and 23-year-old
Constantino Sanchez. Both men appeared to have been the victims of a shooting. The deaths were immediately considered suspicious, and a homicide investigation was launched by the Newberry County Sheriff's Office, with assistance from the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division.
Investigators began the arduous process of piecing together the events that led to the deaths of the two men. While they assured the public that they believed the incident was contained to the crime scene and that there was no immediate danger to the community, details about a possible motive or any potential suspects were not forthcoming. The autopsies for both Salas-Mejia and Sanchez were scheduled to determine the official cause of death. As of now, there has been no publicly released information regarding any arrests or the identification of any suspects in connection with this ongoing investigation.
