Pamela Alice Moses, 50, was killed on August 18, 2021, at about 2:45 p.m. Deputies from the Burke County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of multiple shots fired at a Coldwater Street address in Connelly Springs and found Moses outside her home with probable gunshot wounds. Burke County EMS pronounced her dead at the scene.

Investigators identified 50-year-old Johnny Everette Setzer of Spain Hill Road in Icard as the primary suspect after witnesses pointed to him. Deputies located Setzer near the scene in a vehicle; a pursuit ended on Duncan Street, where he abandoned the vehicle, fled on foot, and was captured after a foot chase and taken to a hospital for observation. He was later indicted on a charge of first-degree murder and was also charged as an habitual felon, with possession of a weapon by a convicted felon and second-degree trespassing. Prior to the shooting, Setzer had been under investigation for larceny and possession of a stolen vehicle and had been arrested on August 16 for disturbing citizens while reportedly intoxicated.

Moses was born July 25, 1971; records note a 2019 search of her Coldwater Street residence that resulted in the seizure of methamphetamine and marijuana. Does anyone have information about Moses, her activities in Connelly Springs, or the events on August 18, 2021?
