Past Internal Affairs Investigation Draws Attention During Elena Moore Death Inquiry

The investigation into the death of Elena Moore continues as newly obtained records have brought renewed attention to a past internal affairs case involving her husband, Brannon Slice.

According to documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department conducted an internal investigation involving Slice in 2013 while he was serving as a narcotics detective.

The records indicate that the inquiry examined allegations related to off-duty conduct. As a result of the investigation, Slice’s law enforcement certification was revoked, ending his career in law enforcement at that time.

Slice later married Elena Moore in 2024. Authorities have not stated that the earlier administrative investigation is connected to Moore’s death, and no official findings have established such a link.

Investigators continue to examine the circumstances surrounding Moore’s death, which occurred near a middle school in Lexington, South Carolina. Law enforcement officials have released limited information while the investigation remains active.

Officials have emphasized that the case is ongoing and that conclusions will be based on evidence gathered during the investigation.

Authorities are asking anyone with relevant information to contact investigators and have urged the public to avoid speculation until additional verified details are released.

The investigation remains active, and officials say updates will be provided as new information becomes available through the legal process.
