A 10th South Carolina teen is expected to surrender to police in the twisted murder plot of a 16-year-old boy who was lured to his death, as officials say the teens filmed him being gunned down, according to reports.
Trey Dean Wright was shot dead in June after his own girlfriend allegedly set him up, bringing him to a remote area off a rural Florence County road, where a group of teens were waiting for a showdown.
There, Wright encountered Devan Scott Raper — a 19-year-old accused of previously flashing a gun and threatening to shoot him — and the two got into an argument over a girl, according to the Florence County Sheriff’s Office.
At least one teen in the crowd started filming as the pair argued — and was recording when Raper allegedly pulled the trigger several times, striking and killing Wright, cops said.
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.
