On January 12, 2020, Maisha Burch, 45, and her companion Andrew Legette were found fatally shot in their home on Taft Watson Road in Centenary, South Carolina. Both victims died from gunshot wounds; Legette was shot while sleeping on a couch and Burch suffered a violent struggle in the hallway before being beaten and shot five times. Maisha Burch was a mother of eight.

Investigators identified Isaac Hemingway, the father of five of Burch’s children, as the primary suspect. Prosecutors said the apparent motive involved Hemingway’s efforts to avoid substantial child support obligations. Hemingway went to trial in February 2023, was convicted of both murders, and received life sentences. The case remained active in the courts as appeals were underway in late 2025.

If anyone knew Maisha, Andrew, or has information about the events of January 12, 2020, please share what you know.
