Brandon Jugg Money Willingham, a 20-year-old Black aspiring rapper, was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting on June 7, 2014, at the intersection of Hall and Oliver streets in Anderson, South Carolina. He was with a group when gunfire struck; another man, Rashun Cowan, was shot multiple times but survived. Investigators concluded the attack was retaliation tied to an earlier shooting of Anthony Patterson that same day. Authorities say Royres Patterson, seeking revenge, mistook Willingham for the shooter.

Royres Patterson was arrested and charged with murder and attempted murder; his uncle, Terrance Mandrell West, was charged with accessory after the fact to murder and was the driver of the vehicle. Witnesses who rode in Patterson’s car testified they thought they were going to buy marijuana and did not know a shooting was planned. Patterson was later convicted of murder, attempted murder, and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime and received a total sentence of 35 years in prison.

Did anyone in Anderson know Willingham or see the group near Hall and Oliver streets that evening?
