Fourteen-year-old Jeremiah Khyree Brown of Palm Bay, Florida, was shot to death on December 25, 2022, in an undeveloped area of the city known as The Compound. Jeremiah and 16-year-old Travon Anthony Jr. were found by Palm Bay police officers after a 911 call; both teens had been shot multiple times and left in tall grass on the vacant property.

Investigators later identified two teenagers as suspects. Jamarcus Simpson, 17 at the time of the shootings, was arrested in St. Johns County and extradited to Brevard County; he was charged with two counts of first-degree premeditated murder. A second teen, Juan Shuren, 16 at the time, was also implicated. Authorities say both were accused of shooting the victims and each blamed the other, and the murder weapon has not been recovered.

The killings were one among several violent incidents reported in The Compound, an area long associated with off-road gatherings and criminal activity. Does anyone who knew Jeremiah or Travon, or who frequents The Compound, have information that could help the investigation?
