Barry Ryan Selmon, a 50-year-old Caucasian male, tragically lost his life on February 21, 2015, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Known for his vibrant and fun-loving personality, he was a beloved father to his two children, Anastasha and Brandon Selmon. His unexpected death sent shockwaves through the community and prompted an extensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
He was a man excited about his future and was particularly looking forward to his daughter's upcoming graduation from National Guard training.
The investigation revealed that Selmon was murdered in what was determined to be a crime of passion. The man charged and later convicted for the murder was Keith Sheldon Levan, a 41-year-old from the Socastee area. The motive behind the tragic event was jealousy. Levan had discovered that his wife was planning to meet with Selmon at a local store in the early hours of February 21, 2015. This discovery led to a fatal confrontation that ended Selmon's life.
The legal proceedings against Keith Sheldon Levan began on February 13, 2015, in Horry County General Sessions Court. The prosecution presented evidence that Levan acted out of rage upon learning of his wife's intended meeting with Selmon. The court ultimately found Levan guilty of murder, and he was sentenced for the crime. The case left a lasting impact on the Myrtle Beach community, serving as a somber reminder of the devastating consequences of violence. Barry's family and friends continue to mourn his loss, remembering him as a caring individual who was taken from them too soon.
