Shaquez Brunner was a 13-year-old boy from Columbus, Ohio, who died of a gunshot wound on June 3, 2014. He attended Georgian Heights Elementary School and was active in Bibleway Church. The shooting happened around 3 p.m. inside an apartment on the 1100 block of Oaks Boulevard where a group of boys were reportedly playing with a handgun.

Police say the gun discharged while the weapon was being passed among the boys; Shaquez was struck and later died. Jakairion Spikes, then 16, was charged in connection with Shaquez’s death and later pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter. Witness statements were taken and others were questioned during the investigation. Shaquez’s family and the community mourned his loss and remembered him as a good kid.

Did anyone who knew Shaquez or the boys at that address see or hear anything that afternoon?
