Brian Berry, 43, was shot and killed during an armed robbery at his barbershop, Strictly Skillz Barbershop and Salon, on North Pine Hills Road in Orlando on October 26, 2016. The attack happened around 8:30 p.m. as the shop was closing. A gunman entered, pointed a firearm and demanded money; Berry was killed and another employee, Reginald Trammel, suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.

Investigators described the suspect as a black male about 6 feet 2 inches tall, 170 to 190 pounds, wearing a hoodie or bandana over his face.

Berry was known locally as an entrepreneur and community activist who gave away backpacks and haircuts to children and worked to help young black men succeed. His death prompted memorials and vigils and renewed community concern about violence in Pine Hills. If anyone has information about that night or the linked crimes, please share what is known.
