On April 15, 2018, 17-year-old Joshua Goodman, a Crestwood High School junior and three-sport athlete, was found with a gunshot wound in the parking lot of a Peach Street apartment complex in Sumter, South Carolina. He was taken to Palmetto Health Tuomey and died of his injuries. Goodman played defensive end for the varsity football team, outfield and catcher for the baseball team, and competed in shot put and discus for the track team.

Investigators say the shooting followed a pre-planned robbery. Goodman had arranged to meet five people to buy marijuana; according to the investigation the group conspired to rob him, a struggle occurred, and he was shot. Sumter Police arrested five suspects. Jaelon Markell Jackson, 21, of Columbia, surrendered and was charged with murder, attempted armed robbery, conspiracy, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. Diontre Brown, 18, of Blythewood; Dequan Lamont Washington, 21, of Sumter; and Shanice Octavia Bradley, 20, of Sumter, were charged with murder, attempted armed robbery, and conspiracy. A 16-year-old, Joshua Smith Jr., of Sumter, was charged as an adult with accessory before the fact to armed robbery and murder, and conspiracy. Bail was denied at a court hearing.

Did anyone in the Sumter area see or hear anything about the planned meeting or the group involved?
