In the quiet town of Walterboro, South Carolina, a tragic event unfolded that cut short the life of 41-year-old Julie Poston. On October 28, 2016, Poston and a companion, 44-year-old Lewis Kevin Ramsey, were found deceased in their home, both victims of fatal gunshot wounds. The initial investigation into the double homicide left the community searching for answers and a suspect elusive.
For over a year, the case remained without a resolution, leaving the families of Poston and Ramsey in
a painful state of uncertainty. The breakthrough in the investigation came in February 2018, when authorities announced the arrest of a suspect. The individual taken into custody was 19-year-old Kenneth Chisolm, who was already incarcerated on charges related to a separate triple murder that had occurred in Colleton County.
According to the arrest warrants, the motive behind the killings of Poston and Ramsey was determined to be robbery. Chisolm is alleged to have shot both victims while in the process of stealing marijuana and money from their residence. The charges against Chisolm in connection with the deaths of Julie Poston and Lewis Kevin Ramsey added to the existing murder charges he faced, painting a grim picture of a violent crime spree. Following the new charges, he remained in jail without the possibility of bond.
