On New Year's Day in 2020, the life of 28-year-old Rodrecus Darrell Moore was tragically cut short in Brent, Alabama. In the afternoon, at approximately 4:00 p.m., Moore was shot on South Scottsville Road. The incident led to an investigation that would ultimately identify a single suspect in the fatal shooting.
The man authorities identified and charged in connection with Moore's death was 48-year-old Eric Raynard Anderson.
Initially facing a murder charge, Anderson's case proceeded through the Fourth Judicial Circuit Court. The legal proceedings saw a development where Anderson entered into a plea agreement.
Ultimately, Eric Raynard Anderson pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of manslaughter for the death of Rodrecus Moore. Presiding Judge Collins Pettway handed down a sentence of 420 months, which equates to 35 years in prison. The length of the sentence was influenced by Anderson's past criminal history, as he was sentenced under the Habitual Offender Act due to three prior adult felony convictions.
