Levi Herman Moody was 19 and a standout football player from Loris High School when he was killed on November 12, 2016, in Longs, South Carolina. Moody, described as Black/African American and noted for his laughter and talent, had recently committed to play at Limestone College. He was struck by a bullet on Freemont Road in what authorities described as a shooting in which he was not the intended target.

Moody was taken to McLeod Seacoast Hospital and later died of his injuries. The loss reopened a family wound: Moody’s father had also been killed by a stray bullet when Levi was an infant. Horry County Police arrested 19-year-old Devonta Edward Williams; he was charged with murder and two counts of attempted murder, tried, convicted by a jury, and sentenced to prison terms that include 35 years for Moody’s murder and 30 years for each attempted murder count, with no eligibility for early release.

Did anyone in the Longs or Loris area have information about Levi’s last evening or the people who were there that night?
