Travis Wright, a 45-year-old resident of Sumter, was found guilty of murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime. The verdict was delivered by a Sumter County jury after a weeklong trial. Wright’s conviction stems from the killing of Adrian McCray, age 25, which took place outside a local convenience store on August 5, 2023.
Following the conviction, Judge S. Bryan Doby sentenced Wright to 45 years in prison.
The prosecution team included Assistant Attorneys General John P. Meadors and Caroline A. Hughes. The investigation into the incident was led by the Sumter Police Department.
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson stated, “Travis Wright, 45, of Sumter, was convicted of murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime by a Sumter County jury on Friday afternoon after a weeklong jury trial.”
