Brian Maxey, 20, was killed on April 28, 2019, in central Fresno after a group of gang members opened fire on the vehicle he was driving. Maxey and his passenger, 19-year-old Kiara Austin, were both pronounced dead at the scene; three other passengers survived. The car, struck by at least 26 rounds, crashed through a brick wall and ended up in a canal.

The Fresno Police Department described the attack as unprovoked and said Maxey and Austin were innocent bystanders in a gang-related confrontation. Surveillance footage and public tips led investigators to identify 19-year-old Donovan Kelley as one of the shooters; he was charged with two counts of second-degree murder and additional offenses. The trial underscored the role of gang turf violence in the killings and the loss suffered by Austin’s family.

Does anyone have information about Maxey, the passengers who survived, or the friends they were visiting that night?
