Brandon Alexander Wylie, 30, of Youngstown, Ohio, was shot multiple times and died on June 19, 2018. An Army veteran who loved music and was close to his family, he was found at the Plaza View apartment complex after being struck by eight to ten rounds fired from two different guns.

Two men, Stephon Hopkins and Brian Donlow Jr., were later found guilty of Brandon’s murder. Surveillance footage from the night showed the suspects walking away after the shooting, evidence cited at trial. Both were sentenced to 21 years to life. Brandon’s brother, Henry Wylie, addressed the court at sentencing about the family’s loss.

The killing was a stark example of gun violence’s effect on a community and on the victim’s family. If anyone knew Brandon, was at Plaza View that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
