Suspicious death ruled a homicide Posted Saturday, December 27, 2014 6:00 am BY JADE REYNOLDS JADE@THEITEM.COM Robert "Bobby" Troublefield did not die by his own hand, according to Sumter County Sheriff's Office. The 61-year-old was found unconscious by relatives in his home in the 4900 block of Live Oak Road on Wednesday morning. Emergency Medical Services were called, but Troublefield was pronounced dead on scene. "After a forensic investigation of the body, the Sumter County Sheriff's Office has deemed Mr. Troublefield's death a homicide," said Braden Bunch, public information officer for the sheriff's office, on Friday. "Upon arrival to the scene, it was not abundantly clear to investigators if it was a suicide or homicide. We are now confident that another person or persons were involved." Troublefield sustained multiple gunshots wounds, but officials declined to specify an exact number of wounds or where they were located. For now, investigators can only track the deceased's activities through Monday night, but the sheriff's office is actively pursing numerous leads, Bunch said. Officials continue to welcome the public's assistance in this matter.

Officials seek info on man's killing Group offers reward Posted Thursday, February 5, 2015 6:00 am FROM STAFF REPORTS A reward is being offered for information concerning the death of a Sumter County man found dead in his home this past Christmas Eve. The Sumter branch of CrimeStoppers, a national network aimed at solving and preventing crimes, announced Wednesday that it is putting up as much as $2,500 for information leading to an arrest in the killing of Robert "Bobby" Troublefield. Sumter County deputies continue to investigate the 61-year-old man's death after family members found him unconscious in his residence in the 4900 block of Live Oak Road. Medical examiners eventually declared him dead at the scene after EMS arrived. Authorities originally ruled Troublefield's death a suspicious one as it was unclear whether he died of suicide or was the victim of a homicide. Investigators later determined that someone killed him when an autopsy revealed he sustained multiple gunshot wounds. CrimeStoppers is an organization that allows residents to provide tips anonymously. Deputies and members of CrimeStoppers are urging residents with any information about the incident to come forward. "We hope that someone will come forward with information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for Mr. Troublefield's death," said Marie Hodge, secretary for CrimeStoppers of Sumter. "This will not only bring closure to the family, but will also help law enforcement solve a crime and get a criminal off the streets." Detectives spent the first few days of their investigation trying to piece together Troublefield's whereabouts and his timeline of activities on the days leading up to his death. Those who have such information that can lead investigators to his killer can call Crimestoppers locally at (803) 436-2718 or toll free at (888) CRIME-SC. [3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11] | |
