Pair arrested in connection with man found dead at boat landing

AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - Two people have been arrested in connection to the murder of a man whose body was found at a boat landing in Aiken County.

Devon Tricoche, 30, was found dead in the Edisto River on Nov. 28. According to the Aiken County Coroner’s Office, Tricoche suffered at least one gunshot wound to the body.

The Lexington County Sheriff’s Office released information on Feb. 10 that two people have been arrested and accused of fatally shooting two men in separate incidents.

Allon Triante Adams, 22, of Leesville, and Cady Elise Keener, 19, of Lexington, are charged with two counts of murder, armed robbery, criminal conspiracy, possession of a weapon during a violent crime and the desecration of human remains, according to arrest warrants.

“Based on evidence and the information detectives have gathered during interviews, Adams and Keener shot a man to death during an armed robbery in the 600 block of Kestrel Drive in Leesville in late November,” said Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon. “Adams and Keener shot another man to death while trying to rob him Dec. 30 on Parrish Road in Leesville.”

Koon says the victim in the Nov. 28 shooting has been identified as Tricoche. The man killed in the Dec. 30 shooting has been identified as Tony Etheredge Jr., according to Lexington County Coroner Margaret Fisher.

Adams and Keenar have been booked into the Lexington County Detention Center.

“The Aiken County Sheriff’s Office has provided valuable assistance to us in the case of Mr. Tricoche’s death. Our investigations into both crimes are still open and more charges are possible,” said Koon. “We encourage anyone with information about either of these cases to reach out to us or use the Crimestoppers mobile app to share an anonymous tip that could lead to a cash reward.”
