Freddie Lee Woodberry, 29 and known as Monk to friends and family, was shot multiple times on Pickens Street in front of the Rosewood housing complex in Marion, South Carolina on September 14, 2017. He was taken for medical care but died of his wounds. Woodberry was remembered as outgoing, helpful, and a long-time member of the Mullins school community; he is survived by his mother, Theresa Woodberry, and an extended family.

Investigators arrested three people in connection with the shooting. One suspect, Lance Aquan Killings, faced murder and weapons-related charges; the Fourth Circuit Solicitor’s Office later dismissed the murder charges in July 2019, citing insufficient evidence and witness statements. Another defendant, Devante Marquise Legette, was initially charged with attempted murder and ultimately pleaded guilty to first-degree assault and battery and received a five-year prison sentence as part of a plea agreement.

Are there readers who knew Freddie or have information about what happened that night?
