NASSAU- A man who beat a murder case when prosecutors failed to get a key witness to appear was killed Monday morning.
Stervante “Lil Killer” Moss, 25, was fatally shot when gunmen cut off his car on Polhemus Street and riddled him with bullets.
Moss was just 17 when he was accused of the 2013 murder of 70-year-old Belpheme Lightbourne.
Prosecutors alleged that Moss and Kevin “Hot Boy” Whymms broke into a home on Polhemus Street around 3am on May 31 and stole electronics and jewelry worth over $7,000.
One of the men allegedly fired shot into a bedroom as they were leaving, hitting Lightbourne. She died in hospital on June 23.
Moss and Whymms were tried in 2015. However, prosecutors withdrew the charges after they couldn’t find a key witness.
