Rebecca Lorraine Foley, 21, a Savannah State University student, was shot and killed in the early evening of January 21, 2013, as she drove into the Colonial Village at Marsh Cove apartment complex on Savannah’s Southside. A single bullet passed through her rear driver-side window and struck her; responding officers found her on the ground at the scene.

No arrests were announced for nearly three years, but in December 2015 the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department charged three men: Kevin Lenard Smith, 23, Roderick Demione Parrish, 22, and Jordan Lamar Campbell, 23. All three were already incarcerated on unrelated charges when warrants were served. A Chatham County Grand Jury indicted them on malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, and firearm possession charges; prosecutors said the men were gang members and alleged Foley was killed during a botched robbery.

In November 2018 a jury convicted Roderick Parrish and Jordan Campbell of felony murder and they were sentenced to life without parole. The jury could not reach a unanimous verdict on the murder charges against Kevin Smith, and his case remained unresolved with further trials and delays. The family later filed a wrongful death suit against the apartment owners and reached a confidential settlement.

Did anyone who knew Rebecca or lived at Colonial Village notice patterns of crime or safety problems around 2013 that might add context to the case?
