Detectives allege Richardson was abducted at gunpoint from 69 Norman St., near Highway 17 in downtown Charleston, and was forced into a vehicle and was driven from the residence. 

The warrants for McCall, Wilson and Walker were served on the defendants at the Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center where they were being held on unrelated charges. 

Investigation into the homicide continues. No formal murder charges have been filed at this point. Detectives continue to seek a motive for the homicide and determine what — if any — part the defendants may have played in the death, according to sheriff PIO Maj. James Brady.
