They lived more than 2,000 miles apart Still, they shared something in common.
I say "lived" because Brandon is no longer with us. He was gunned down while walking in a residential neighborhood in Mesa, Arizona. Bradley was also gunned down, while walking near his home in Jacksonville, Florida but managed to survive after absorbing multiple rounds.
They were also separated by age. Brandon was 38 years old. Bradley is 14 years old. [ 4 arrested in connection to deadly armed robbery in Mesa, by Laura Lollman, October 27, 2020]
Both victims are described as white males. Both were shot without provocation by blacks while walking in their own neighborhoods.
Brandon was accosted after four individuals spotted him as they were driving through his neighborhood. One of the suspects, a young black male, emerged from the vehicle to confront Brandon. When Brandon resisted a robbery attempt, the suspect allegedly assaulted him. When Brandon ran, the suspect opened fire. Brandon tried to hide from his pursuers behind a hedge of shrubs at a nearby home. It was there that he was fatally shot. Security cameras at the home captured the incident.
Four arrests were made: 18-year-olds Jaquan Bailey and Stephon Mitchell, 37-year-old Ashley Herrell and 38-year-old Vincent Culbreath.
