Two men who pleaded guilty to the 2013 murder of Beaufort native Alex Apps were sentenced to lengthy prison sentences by a Circuit Court judge Wednesday afternoon, with one of them receiving life in prison.
Jquan Marquel Scott received a life sentence without the possibility of parole in Charleston County court Wednesday from Circuit Judge Kristi Lee Harrington in the Oct. 3, 2013, murder of Alex Apps. His accomplice in Apps’ death, Isaac Romell Williams, received a 40-year prison sentence soon after Scott’s was announced.
According to the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office, Scott and Williams shot and killed Apps after responding to a Craigslist ad in which Apps had listed his Chevrolet pickup truck for sale. Apps was shot in the back of the head while he let the two men test drive the truck, and his body left in some woods near a power substation in Mount Pleasant.
Scott, now 21, unexpectedly pleaded guilty to his charges — murder, armed robbery, kidnapping, and possession of a firearm in the commission of a violent crime — in May during a pre-trial hearing, according to the Ninth Circuit Solicitor’s Office. Scott was expected to face trial in Apps’ murder the following week.
Williams also pleaded guilty to a murder charge in July, according to Charleston County court records.
According to media reports from the sentencing hearing Wednesday, Ninth Circuit Solicitor Scarlett Wilson said Apps’ death was a “planned execution,” and that Scott had set up a purchase for a truck he could not afford.
