Eric Devlin Brantley, 43, was a well-known musician and bartender in Charleston, South Carolina. He played guitar and sang with the local band Telegram and worked behind the bar at establishments including The Sparrow in Park Circle. On the night of April 20, 2016, after finishing his shift, Brantley was found fatally shot beside his motorcycle in a parking lot; authorities described the shooting as a robbery.

North Charleston police identified two suspects. DeAndre Murphy was arrested about a week after the shooting, and Jamal Green Jr. was taken into custody more than a month later after a separate inquiry into a stolen moped with a GPS tracker. At a bond hearing Brantley’s mother read a victim impact statement; Green reportedly interrupted and was charged with contempt of court.

Murphy, who was 17 at the time of the killing, pleaded guilty to murder in May 2018, with sentencing deferred pending resolution of his co-defendant’s case. In March 2019, a jury convicted Jamal Green Jr. of murder, armed robbery, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and he was sentenced to 50 years in prison. If anyone knew Eric, his routines, or who might have information about that night, please share what is known.
