Brandie (who was a cisgender woman) and her friend Nireah Johnson were murdered by Paul Moore after Moore discovered that Nireah was transgender. He then set their vehicle on fire.

Moore was convicted on two counts of murder, criminal confinement and arson and sentenced to a total of 120 years in prison. Moore's half brother, Clarence McGee, 26, was convicted of arson, assisting a criminal and obstruction of justice and sentenced to 10 years
