Wesley Colin Brown, 26, was found dead on the 1700 block of Senate Street in Columbia, South Carolina, in the early morning hours of October 4, 2020. He had been in Columbia for a wedding. A couple on a morning walk discovered his body; emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene. An autopsy confirmed he died from complications of a gunshot wound.

Columbia Police investigators determined Brown was alone when he was approached by two men who allegedly intended to rob him. During the robbery one of the suspects fired a shot that proved fatal. Two men were identified: Xavier York Glover and Zachery Jamell Williams. Glover was taken into custody first; Williams initially evaded capture but later surrendered with his attorney. Williams pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and received a 27-year prison sentence. The case against Glover remained pending as of the latest account.
