Ivan Brandt, 51, was shot to death inside his Tamarac, Florida, home on February 5, 2015. Neighbors reported hearing gunshots in the late afternoon; when deputies first tried to contact the residence they could not reach anyone, and a SWAT team entered the home and found Brandt’s body. Detectives say he was shot multiple times and worked through the night to process the scene.

Investigators used surveillance footage from the home to identify two men forcing their way inside and attempting to restrain Brandt. The video shows Brandt resisting and being shot during the struggle; the men then fled in a white sedan. Detectives say Brandt had been on the phone with a woman just before the attack and that her information helped link the suspects to the scene. Both men were charged with first-degree murder and burglary; the prosecution relied heavily on the surveillance footage and presented it at trial.

Brandt is remembered by family as kind and generous. Does anyone have information about Brandt’s life in Tamarac or recall seeing a white sedan in the neighborhood that afternoon?
