On June 6, 2016, 17-year-old Broadneck High School student and track team member Kymici Brown was shot in a home on the 1300 block of Tyler Avenue in Annapolis, Maryland. She was found with a gunshot wound to the chest, taken to Anne Arundel Medical Center, and later died from her injuries.

Nineteen-year-old Ryan Surgeon of Laurel, identified as Brown’s boyfriend, was at the scene when authorities arrived. He told investigators the shooting was accidental, saying he had been smoking marijuana and dancing with a loaded handgun when it discharged and struck Brown. Surgeon was on probation at the time.

Surgeon was initially charged with first and second-degree murder and other offenses. He later pleaded guilty to manslaughter and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and in December 2016, at age 20, was sentenced to eight years in prison with no parole eligibility for the first five years.

If anyone knew Kymici, her activities at Broadneck High, or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know.
