Brandon Lawrence was 18 when he was shot and killed in New Rochelle, New York, in the early hours of April 3, 2016. Police responded at about 3:17 a.m. to multiple 911 calls reporting gunshots and found Lawrence lying face down in the center field area of the ball field in Lincoln Park. He was pronounced dead at the scene from a single gunshot wound to the torso.

Lawrence, a freshman at Iona College, had been at an off-campus party earlier that evening. After the party he and four other young men went to Lincoln Park. Two of the men engaged in a pre-arranged fistfight while the others watched; during that time, one of the men, identified as 19-year-old Stivenson Desir, pulled out a handgun and fired at Lawrence, who reportedly was not involved in the fight. New Rochelle Police arrested Desir later that day and charged him with second-degree murder and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon.

Does anyone have additional information about Brandon’s activities that night or witnesses who were at the park?
