Kalieah Mone Green was a 20-year-old woman from Columbia, South Carolina, remembered by family as fearless and loving. Her mother established a college scholarship in her name at Morris College in her memory.

On the afternoon of May 25, 2021, Green was in the Sumter area with her boyfriend, in or near a car outside a home in the 4200 block of Hickory Road, when another vehicle pulled up and someone inside began shooting. Green was struck in the head and was found deceased at the scene; her boyfriend was not injured and flagged down law enforcement. The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation and stated investigators believed the shooting was gang-related.

Within a month authorities identified three suspects. On June 24, 2021, 19-year-old Randy Boston III was arrested and charged with murder and attempted murder, and 20-year-old Kavonta Tylik Choice was arrested and charged with accessory to murder after the fact; both were denied bond. A third suspect, 24-year-old Juwone DAngelo Kelley-Jay, was sought on multiple charges and turned himself in on June 29, 2021. As of April 2022 the charges against all three remained pending with no reported trial, verdict, or plea.

Did anyone in the Sumter or Columbia area know Kalieah or have information about the shooting on Hickory Road?
