Murder trial underway for Georgetown man already serving two life sentences

Ryan Woodruff, convicted in 2024 for a double murder, faces a new trial for the 2023 shooting of 19-year-old Ty'quez Walker in Georgetown County, S.C.

Third day of testimony in Georgetown County murder case

According to wpde.com, the murder trial of Ryan Woodruff — a Georgetown man already serving two life sentences — is now underway in Georgetown County, South Carolina.

Woodruff is charged with the January 2023 shooting death of 19-year-old Ty'quez Walker at a home on Meadow Street. At the time of the shooting, Woodruff had been released on bond in a separate double-murder case.

In October 2024, Woodruff was convicted of killing two relatives, Roger Woodruff and Debra Goins, and sentenced to two consecutive life terms. His arrest in the Walker case prompted renewed scrutiny over bond eligibility for defendants facing serious charges.

The current trial, now in its third day, is being covered by reporters in court, with testimony ongoing.
