Brian Brown was 19 when he was shot multiple times on June 14, 2017, in the 100 block of NE 9 Avenue in Miami. A recent graduate and a football recruit headed to Merced College on a full scholarship, Brown was allegedly selling 14 grams of marijuana to 20-year-old Ed Lamarre when Lamarre shot him after receiving the drugs and fled, leaving his cell phone behind. Brown managed to drive to a stop sign and asked his girlfriend to take him to the hospital; he was taken first to Jackson North Medical Center, then transferred to Aventura Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery and later died.

Police charged Ed Lamarre with second-degree murder, and investigators cited testimony from Brown’s girlfriend and a confession by Lamarre. The Brown family also says Jackson North Medical Center failed to stabilize Brown, alleging staff called 911 instead of providing immediate on-site care; the family is gathering evidence for a potential medical malpractice suit.

Did anyone in the Miami area see activity in the 100 block of NE 9 Avenue around June 14, 2017, or have information about the shooting or its aftermath?
