Herbert Lee Goodson, a 20-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on June 24, 2020, in Spring Lake, North Carolina, during an attempted robbery at Splash Hair Studio on North Bragg Boulevard. Goodson had been outside the salon with two friends after withdrawing $1,200 from an ATM about 30 minutes earlier when a gunman confronted the group and a shootout followed. A friend, Deshawn Jones, 20, of Fort Bragg, suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.

Three men were arrested and later entered guilty pleas to various charges tied to the robbery and shooting. Montre Javon Moody, 30, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon, accessory after the fact of voluntary manslaughter, and accessory after the fact to assault with a deadly weapon; he received 23 months to three years and four months in prison with credit for time served plus 18 months of unsupervised probation on release.
