Brandon D. Meeks, 29, was shot to death inside his South Side Columbus home on East Barthman Avenue on December 11, 2017. Meeks, who was handicapped and used crutches, was pronounced dead at the scene after police responded to a shooting report. Two other people were injured; one was taken to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center in stable condition.

The shooting happened 68 minutes after Columbus Police Chief Kim Jacobs held a press conference appealing for public help on the city’s unsolved homicides and calling for peace. Investigators initially took two persons of interest into custody and were exploring whether the attack was tied to a robbery. An indictment later named Darnell Deejohn Vinson, an alleged Bloods gang member, charging him with murder, attempted murder and felonious assault in the attack; the indictment alleges Vinson murdered Brandon Meeks and attempted to murder Darrell Meeks. Vinson’s arraignment was scheduled for January 2, 2018.

Are there people in the area who knew Brandon or who saw activity on East Barthman Avenue the night of December 11, 2017?
