Brandon Theodore Mulgrave, 23, was found shot to death in a vacant lot on Holden Drive in Augusta, Georgia, on April 9, 2017. Initially unidentified, his identity was later confirmed after images of distinctive tattoos were released and someone who saw them online alerted his mother in New York, who contacted the coroner.

Family and friends described Brandon as kind, gentle, and loving. He had been pursuing a Pharm D degree at Long Island University in Brooklyn and performed rap music under the nickname Breezy. Unbeknownst to his family, he had traveled to Augusta, possibly to visit friends, before his death.

The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office identified two local men as suspects within weeks. On April 20, 2017, 26-year-old Thomas Blount was taken into custody, and on April 21, 25-year-old Mark Crawford Jr. turned himself in; both were charged with Mulgrave’s murder.

If anyone knew Brandon, his movements in Augusta, or has information about that night, please come forward.
