In the quiet city of Orangeburg, South Carolina, the life of 68-year-old Bobby Scott Huggins was brought to a violent and tragic end on February 10, 2019. Huggins, a male resident of the community, fell victim to a brutal attack within the confines of his own home, a place that should have been his sanctuary. The kindness he had shown to a homeless teenager would tragically be repaid with violence.
The incident unfolded when Tyekiva Harvin, an 18-year-old woman whom Huggins had allowed
to stay in his home, allegedly attacked him with a hammer. Following this initial assault, an unidentified male accomplice of Harvin's shot Huggins multiple times. Despite his grievous injuries, Huggins was able to contact emergency services and identify his assailants before he succumbed to his wounds.
In the immediate aftermath, the Orangeburg Department of Public Safety launched an investigation into the heinous crime. An arrest warrant was swiftly issued for Tyekiva Harvin on the charge of murder. Law enforcement officials released her description to the public, noting that she was also known by the aliases 'Paris Miller' and 'Ty,' in an effort to locate her and bring her into custody.
Despite the initial progress in identifying one of the individuals allegedly involved, information regarding the arrest and identification of the male suspect who fatally shot Huggins remains scarce. Similarly, the subsequent legal proceedings, including the trial, conviction, and sentencing of Tyekiva Harvin, have not been publicly detailed in available online sources. The full story of the events that transpired and the ultimate judicial resolution for all those responsible for the death of Bobby Scott Huggins remains incomplete.
