In the early morning hours of June 26, 2020, 46-year-old Troy Devon Thomas was shot and killed at an apartment on Byron Road in Columbia, South Carolina. The male suspects allegedly began assaulting the woman; Thomas intervened and was shot by Ahemn. Thomas returned fire and wounded Moore, but was then shot multiple times in the upper body and died of his injuries. The female victim suffered a gunshot wound to the lower body, was treated at a local hospital, and released.

Moore was found wounded on Byron Road, arrested after hospital treatment, and charged with murder, first-degree burglary, and weapon offenses. Ahemn turned himself in and was charged with murder, attempted murder, first-degree burglary, armed robbery, and multiple weapons offenses. Investigators say the suspects and victims were acquainted; the precise motive for the home invasion remains under investigation.

Did anyone in the area know Thomas, the two suspects, or have information about why the men went to that apartment?
