Brandon Lanier was 27 when he was killed by a gunshot wound to the chest during a late-night mass shooting on Riverside Drive in Dayton, Ohio, on October 25, 2016. More than 50 rounds were fired in the incident; three other people were wounded. Initial reports did not state whether there had been an exchange of gunfire or whether suspects were being sought.

Authorities later charged 30-year-old Dayton resident Curtis McShann with murder and more than 20 other counts, including multiple murder counts. McShann was convicted in August 2017 of all but one charge and received a life sentence on October 3, 2017; the court found he had indiscriminately opened fire. A second defendant, Jamarko Walker, 22, was also implicated and was sentenced to 24 years to life for his role.

Brandon’s family and friends remembered him as a beloved person whose life was cut short by senseless violence. Does anyone have information about that night on Riverside Drive or knew Brandon and can share details that might deepen the record?
