Braylin Lariq Bell was an 18-year-old from Youngstown, Ohio, who was shot multiple times and killed in his bedroom on Mistletoe Avenue on July 14, 2017. He lived with his mother and was found with his own gun next to him; investigators say the weapon was jammed when he tried to defend himself. He was pronounced dead at St. Elizabeth Health Center.

Detective Sgt. Chad Zubal reports more than one person was involved and only one weapon was used. Police executed several search warrants and interviewed multiple people, including the two who discovered Braylin and called 911, but no arrests have been announced. The detective also believes some items were taken from the bedroom, though he has not publicly stated a motive.

Braylin graduated from East High School in 2016 and was studying Business Management at Eastern Gateway College. His family describes him as loving, kind, and a sports fan. Does anyone have information about Braylin or his last known contacts that could help bring answers?
