Mickel Elijha Burrell-Baker was 25 when he was fatally shot in Belle Glade, Florida, on July 9, 2021. The incident happened about 3:30 p.m. in front of a home on Southwest Avenue H after Mickel stepped into the front yard and overheard an argument between two men. Moments later shots were fired and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office found him deceased at the scene.

Investigators arrested 19-year-old Tie’noriss Brown of West Palm Beach and charged him with first-degree murder, shooting into an occupied dwelling, and discharging a firearm in public. Authorities say Brown had rented a Nissan Versa that was found near the scene with the driver’s side door open and the engine running. Witnesses told police Brown left after an initial argument and returned armed with a rifle; a car key compatible with the Versa was recovered at a relative’s home nearby. The motive remains unclear, and it is not known whether Mickel was the intended target or a bystander.

If anyone knew Mickel or saw activity around Southwest Avenue H that afternoon, please share what was seen or any information that could help the ongoing case.
