Breana Jeree Blackwell, a 23-year-old African American woman, was killed in Athens, Georgia, on the night of November 28, 2015, when gunfire erupted in the city’s Brooklyn neighborhood near Hawthorne Extension and Brooklyn Road. Police arrived around 10:58 p.m. and found her in a parked vehicle, dead from a gunshot wound. Early reports described a chaotic scene with a large crowd scattering after multiple people exchanged shots; later accounts characterized Blackwell as a bystander caught in the violence rather than someone driving it.

Investigators treated the shooting as tied to gang activity. By April 2016 the Georgia Bureau of Investigation had linked a gun to the scene, and seven men were arrested under Georgia’s Criminal Street Gang Act in connection with the broader suspected gang-related circumstances. Reporting does not show that anyone was publicly confirmed as the person who fired the fatal shot or that a murder conviction for Blackwell’s death was obtained.

Does anyone have information about Breana Blackwell, or recall the events in the Brooklyn neighborhood that night?
