On the evening of June 22, 2014, 21-year-old Brandon Dean was shot and killed in Kansas City, Missouri, after a confrontation near 40th Street and Indiana Avenue. Dean, a Black male, encountered someone with whom he had a prior dispute; the argument turned physical when that person produced a firearm and Dean tackled him. A second armed individual then arrived. Dean tried to flee and was struck by gunfire as he ran, collapsing inside a nearby business at 39th Street and Indiana Avenue. He was taken to a hospital and died of his wounds.

Police identified two teenagers as suspects. Prosecutors charged 17-year-old Eric D. Little Jr. in October 2014 with second-degree murder and armed criminal action, alleging he was the primary aggressor Dean had struggled with. A second 17-year-old, Rashad L. Williams, was charged with unlawful use of a weapon. Witness statements helped reconstruct how the argument escalated into a physical fight and the subsequent shooting.
