Ja’Zaylon Lamarr Levy, 18, was killed on the evening of July 14, 2022, at the Stone Bridge Apartment Complex, 2790 Rodeo Drive in Abbeville, Louisiana. Responding officers found Levy with a gunshot wound to his hip; he was taken to Abbeville General Hospital and pronounced dead. Investigators later determined he was an innocent bystander, not the intended target.

Two men from Abbeville, 25-year-old Donald Briggs III and 19-year-old Stefan Briggs, were arrested and tried in connection with the shooting. Prosecutors introduced video showing the Briggs brothers leaving a local Walmart shortly before the shooting and leaving the apartment complex afterward, along with witness identifications that tied the men and a silver Mercedes Benz to the scene. A jury convicted both men of second-degree murder after considering the evidence presented at trial.

If anyone knew Ja’Zaylon, saw activity near Stone Bridge Apartments on July 14, 2022, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
