Bryant James Rosser, 27, of Sanford, North Carolina, was found dead on August 14, 2017, alongside 24-year-old Kelcie Lyn Vann. Both victims were discovered inside a Toyota Camry on a dirt path near Buffalo Lake Road; Rosser was in the driver’s seat and Vann was beside him. The car showed multiple gunshot impacts to the hood and windshield, 31 shell casings were recovered around the vehicle, and autopsy reports list multiple gunshot wounds to each victim. The car had rolled downhill and came to rest next to a tree, blood was found on the gear shift, and the vehicle was in reverse, consistent with a desperate attempt to escape.

Investigators say the pair were ambushed and shot multiple times. Authorities linked the killings to an alleged theft of a backpack containing a firearm and drugs that Rosser was accused of taking. Three people — Gregory Recardo Fargas, 25; Tracy Nicole Read, 33; and Jadin Quincy Bailey, 20 — were arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder; the Harnett County District Attorney’s Office is seeking the death penalty and the defendants are awaiting trial without bond. Does anyone have information about Rosser, Vann, or the events leading up to that night?
