Warrant Issued for Suspect in the Murder of Sean Timothy Dinneen

A warrant has been issued by Pickens County Sheriff's department for the arrest of a suspect in Sean Timothy Dinneen's murder.

Tavish Dominique Yeargin, 25, of Greenville, is wanted by deputies in the shooting death of Dinneen on Saturday, Sept. 17, in the parking lot of the Crosswell First Baptist Church. Yeargin's address is listed as 100 Shemwood Lane, Apartment 15C, Greenville.

The warrant states that Yeargin is being charged with murder and that he did so with "malice and afterthought." Police said Yeargin stole Dinneen's car and fled the scene. The sheriff's department later located Dinneen's vehicle in Greenville.

“These officers have done as outstanding job, working tirelessly through some exceptionally long hours to solve this case," Sheriff David Stone said on Wednesday. "I am proud of them and their outstanding professionalism demonstrated in this case.”

Police said the probable cause for the warrant is based on witness statements and forensic evidence recovered from the victim's vehicle.

Yeargin was last seen driving the 1998 Blue Ford Mustang pictured in this release, tag number CQH-627, police said.

The sheriff's office said the murder is still under investigation and other arrests are expected.  

Anyone knowing his whereabouts is asked to contact the Pickens County Sheriff’s Office at 898-5500 or CRIMESPOPPERS at 898-KOPS (5677).
