Inside the residence, deputies found a nude man in a bed stating, “I don’t care about her, I’m hurting,” the report states.

The man had been shot once in the stomach, authorities said.

When investigators questioned the woman, she said Williamson had gone into her purse where he found a copy of an incident report that implicated the man as a suspect. The Orangeburg County report did not go into detail on the report from Lexington’s jurisdiction.

She said an argument erupted as a result of the man finding the report.

“When the couple started arguing, the woman wanted to make a call to have her mother pick her up but the man refused her access to the phone,” Ravenell said.

The sheriff said the woman initially made it out of the house and into the yard in her attempt to get away. But the man grabbed her arm, placed a hand over her mouth and dragged her back inside.

At that point, the verbal altercation escalated, the woman said. She said the man demanded she take her clothes outside and burn them. As she retrieved her clothes, the man struck her in the back of the head before throwing her to the floor, she said.
