On the night of August 8, 2021, in Albany, Georgia, 9-year-old Nigel Lamar Brown was killed when gunfire from a passing vehicle struck his home on West Gordon Avenue. Nigel was asleep in his bed; a bullet pierced the house and hit him in the head. His mother, in another room, discovered him unresponsive. Several family members, including Nigel’s great-grandfather and two other children, were in the house during the drive-by shooting.

Nigel was remembered by his family as a loving son, brother, and grandson who liked arts and crafts and Batman and attended the Dougherty County School System. A major development came in August 2024 when police arrested 35-year-old Gernardric Deangelo Pittman on charges including murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime after a woman provided a video that helped identify a suspect. Those charges were dropped in February 2025 when the district attorney said the evidence was insufficient.

Who in the Albany area might have seen or recorded something the night Nigel was killed and can help move this investigation forward?
