Nine Teenagers ARRESTED In SICK Murder Plot Of 16-Year-Old Boy “Lured to Death” By Own Girlfriend

Nine South Carolina teenagers have been arrested in connection with the horrific murder of 16-year-old Trey Dean Wright.

In June, Trey Dean Wright was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds.

Allegedly, the trigger was pulled by 19-year-old Devan Raper.

The motive?

An argument over a girl.

However, police say that the murder wasn’t an impulsive act of passion. Rather, it was part of a premeditated plot.

Allegedly, Trey Dean Wright’s own girlfriend, 17-year-old Gianna Kistenmacher, set him up and lured him to his death.

Here are the details:

TEEN SET UP BY HIS OWN GIRLFRIEND, EXECUTED OVER A LOVE TRIANGLE

Trey Dean Wright, 16, was lured to a remote South Carolina road and gunned down – and cops say his own girlfriend helped set the trap.

Devan Raper, 19, pulled the trigger, but this wasn’t a fight – it was a premeditated setup over teenage jealousy, complete with a camera crew.

Authorities say 8 others, including girlfriend Giann Kistenmacher, played a role in baiting Trey to the scene knowing Raper had a gun and was making death threats.

One teen dead, another facing life, and 8 more caught in the fallout – all because they couldn’t handle teenage drama without turning it into a murder plot.

Devan Raper, the one who fired the gun, is the boy on the left. The girlfriend who set her boyfriend up is the girl directly to the right of him.

The identities of the other four minors arrested have not been released.

The details of this entire thing are incredibly sick already…but, it gets even worse.

At least one of the suspects sat back and recorded a video of the brutal murder of the 16-year-old boy like they were just filming a Tik Tok.

More details from Fox News:

Florence County Sheriff’s deputies found Trey Dean Wright of Johnsonville dead on First Neck Road with multiple gunshot wounds June 24, authorities said previously. He was found about 45 miles west of Myrtle Beach.

The following day, they arrested Devan Scott Raper, a 19-year-old from Conway, who allegedly fatally shot Wright after an argument. At least one teen involved reportedly recorded the slaying on video. And deputies continued to announce new arrests for weeks as the investigation dug deeper.

“All this court hearing and bond court and stuff is driving me crazy,” Wright’s mother, Ashley Lindsey, told Fox News Digital. “I don’t even have time to sit down and think half the time, on top of losing my precious baby.”

Now, an entire group of teens, many of them juveniles, are facing charges, some for allegedly setting Wright up and bringing Raper to the victim’s location, knowing he was armed, according to authorities.

One of the suspects was Wright’s girlfriend, Gianna Kistenmacher, a Myrtle Beach 17-year-old, his mother said.

There is something seriously wrong with these corrupted “teens.”

All of them should be tried as adults.

The New York Post reports that a tenth suspect is expected to surrender soon:

Raper was arrested the day after Wright’s body was found on June 24, and in the following weeks, eight other teens were hit with various charges for allegedly helping set up the murder.

A tenth suspect is also expected to turn themselves in soon, News 13 reported.

Raper is charged with homicide and possession of a weapon, while Wright’s 17-year-old girlfriend, Gianna Kistenmacher, is charged with accessory before the fact.

The sheriff’s office argued Kistenmacher knew Raper was armed and deliberately instigated a confrontation between him and Wright.

Kistenmacher was released on bond to home confinement soon after her arrest.

Other suspects arrested and charged were 18-year-olds Hunter Kendall and Corrine Belviso, and 17-year-old Sydney Kearns, though what part they allegedly played in the murder remains unclear.

Four others were charged, but are minors and their names have not been released.

Florence County Sheriff’s Office Maj. Michael Nunn said the decision to charge so many teens in the killing was not taken lightly.

“The decision was made, again with investigators, in consultation with the solicitor’s office to charge each of them,” Nunn told News 13.

“The hand of one being the hand of all is part of South Carolina law as well, so that’s the basis of the charge for each of those individuals,” he added.

Please pray for the family of Trey Dean Wright and that they will have justice for the death of their loved one.
