Brandon Christopher Murphy, 22, of Jacksonville, Florida, was shot and killed on December 18, 2004. Firefighters found his body on the floor of his apartment in the Fieldcrest Apartments after a fire had been set inside the unit. The blaze appears to have been started to destroy evidence and obscure the crime scene.

Police investigators linked two people who had recently moved in with Brandon to the case. Angus Wallen and Kara Winn, both 25 at the time, were arrested in Biloxi, Mississippi, and were found in possession of Brandon’s car. They were initially charged with auto theft and arson and later faced additional charges including murder as the investigation developed.

Brandon was a Jacksonville native who graduated from University Christian School in 2000 and was attending Florida Community College at Jacksonville when he died. His family and friends remember him for his wit, humor and compassion. Does anyone who knew Brandon or who was in the Fieldcrest Apartments area in December 2004 have information that could help clarify what happened?
