On Saturday afternoon, February 27, 2021, 74-year-old Mary Jessie Mae Hayre was shot and killed while sitting in her car at Pinecrest Apartments on McMillan Avenue in North Charleston, South Carolina. She had driven there to retrieve a cell phone her great-grandson left at a sleepover and was speaking on the phone with her daughter when an unknown person approached the driver’s side and opened fire. The shooting was overheard by her daughter on the call.

A witness later identified a man named Zaswan Rosendary in a photo lineup; Rosendary was arrested on March 5, 2021, on charges of murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime. Weeks later those charges were dropped after authorities said new information emerged; officials did not disclose that information. Police and the family held a press conference months after the killing, noting the shooting occurred at 1:45 p.m. and renewing their plea for anyone with information to come forward.

Who in the community might have seen or heard something that afternoon and can help bring justice for Mary Jessie Mae Hayre?
