On the evening of March 18, 2018, Brian Jovon Rogers, 36, was found in the parking lot of Peachtree Place Apartments in Columbia, South Carolina, with a fatal gunshot wound to his upper body. The Lexington County Coroner pronounced him dead at the scene. Investigators later concluded the shooting was not random but occurred during an attempted armed robbery; multiple individuals with ties to a local gang were reported to be at the complex breaking into vehicles when they encountered Rogers and the robbery escalated into the fatal shooting.

A group of three suspects was identified. One of them, Correy T. Brown, then 24, pleaded guilty in December 2021 to murder and armed robbery. Prosecutors cited South Carolina’s principle that the hand of one is the hand of all, holding Brown responsible for the killing even if he did not fire the shot. Brown, a validated gang member, was sentenced to 35 years with no parole eligibility. The outcomes for the two other co-defendants are not detailed.

Does anyone have information about the other two suspects or about events that night at Peachtree Place Apartments?
