BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C.–The reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in a Berkeley County murder case has been increased from $8,740 to $10,000. Crimestoppers officials announced the increase on Monday.
This reward will be paid for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the homicide of the teen.
On June 7, Ariel, 19, attended a block party with approximately 800 other people along the 300-block of Tish Lane in the Long Ridge community of the county.
According to deputies, at some point during the event, shots rang out. Multiple people were hit by bullets. Ariel was among the victims. She was transported to MUSC in Charleston where she was later pronounced dead at 2:45 a.m.
“Ariel didn’t live the life of the streets. She lived the life of a young lady who had a future ahead of her. She didn’t run the streets, robbing banks or anything like that, so that ‘street code’ shouldn’t apply to her,” said the young woman’s mother.
If you have any information on this murder, you’re urged to contact Crimestoppers at 
(843) 554-1111.
Remember, you can remain anonymous and qualify for a cash reward.
