Keon Malik Brantley was 18 when he was found shot and burned in a brush fire near Harbison in Columbia, South Carolina. Firefighters discovered his body on the night of April 15, 2017; an autopsy later confirmed a gunshot wound as the cause of death. He had recently graduated from Irmo High School.

Surveillance footage shows Brantley leaving his apartment around 9 p.m. carrying a large box that contained a legally purchased AK-47. Investigators recovered that rifle at the scene but do not believe it was the weapon that killed him. Several personal items are reported missing, including a hooded sweatshirt, a backpack, and his size 8 Nike Air Foamposites, and authorities say those items could be important to the case.

The Lexington County Sheriff’s Department continued to investigate with no arrests announced. His parents have spoken publicly about their loss and urged anyone with information to come forward. Does anyone have information about Brantley’s last movements or the missing items?
