Calvin Recardo Bryant Jr., 26, was shot in the early morning of December 15, 2019, in Columbia, South Carolina. Deputies were called to the 1100 block of Hallbrook Drive around 5:40 a.m. and found Bryant with a gunshot wound to his upper body. He was taken to a hospital but died; an autopsy confirmed the gunshot wound as the cause of death.

Known as Money Main to friends and family, Bryant was remembered as humorous, sociable, a 2012 graduate of Brookland Cayce High School, and a devoted father with a giving, protective nature. Richland County Sheriff’s Department is handling the investigation; as of the latest update no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and authorities have not released a motive or detailed circumstances of the shooting. A separate fatal shooting at a gathering after Bryant’s funeral is also reported.
