On a September evening in Mobile, Alabama, a dispute over a gaming system turned deadly, ending the life of Kelon Foster, age 22. The male victim was walking to his car outside the Stadium Sports Bar and Grille on September 11, 2021, when he was shot multiple times.
The investigation into Foster's death led police to LeCarey Lett, a 29-year-old man from Mobile. It was reported that Lett was angry with Foster over a gaming system he had purchased from him.
This anger escalated to violence, culminating in the fatal shooting.
Lett was subsequently arrested and charged with intentional murder. In a move that brought a resolution to the case without a lengthy trial, Lett pleaded guilty to the charge. On a Tuesday in April 2024, a Mobile County Circuit Court judge sentenced LeCarey Lett to life in prison for the murder of Kelon Foster. The judge handed down the maximum possible sentence for the crime. Following the sentencing, the Mobile County District Attorney expressed hope that this conclusion to the legal proceedings would bring a measure of peace to Kelon Foster's grieving family.
