Brandon Legette, 38, was fatally shot on January 2, 2021, in Moncks Corner, South Carolina after being lured to a location using a fake Facebook account. Investigators say the social media profile was part of a coordinated plan to ambush him; authorities allege the profile was operated by James Crescent from jail. The shooter, identified as Gerard Smith, carried out the ambush and later pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

Prosecutors say multiple people were involved. Melissa Mosley, who is James Crescent’s mother, is reported to have helped Smith after the shooting by assisting his escape and helping to hide evidence; she took a plea and received a ten-year sentence. James Crescent faced charges for his alleged role in arranging the lure while incarcerated. Legette was an involved father of five.
