A Newberry woman is accused of aiding Union murder suspect Derrick Ruff, who is from Prosperity.

Laquidra Monique Eigner, 22, of 1590 Oxner Road, was charged Thursday by the Union County Sheriff's Office with being an accessory after the fact of a murder. Her arrest warrant, signed by Union Sheriff's Office Lt. Kenneth Riddle, said she assisted Ruff by taking him to Commerce, Ga., and getting a motel room for him in her name on Aug. 21.

Eigner was released from the Union County Jail Friday on $40,000 surety bond.

Union County deputies are still looking for Ruff, 27, of 146 Grant Acres Way, Prosperity, who will be charged with murder in the Aug. 18 shooting of Kelvin Davis.

Davis, 19, was killed at his home on 147 Woodberry Drive during a home invasion and robbery.

A second suspect in the case, 25-year-old Patrick Troy Rice, of 617 Evans St., Whitmire, surrendered to Union County deputies Thursday morning.

Miriam Elise Dickert, 17, of 508 Eaves Road, Union, was charged Tuesday with accessory after the fact of a murder. She is accused of assisting Rice as he left the area for Thomasville, N.C., staying with him and helping him avoid law enforcement. Union County Sheriff Howard Wells said authorities want to question two more men in Davis' death.

Newberry County Sheriff's deputies have assisted Union deputies in the search for the suspects.
