Jaimaire Alexander Brandon was a 13-year-old from Harrisburg who died on August 20, 2021, after being struck in the head by a single bullet. The shooting happened at a friend’s house when a loaded gun was unintentionally discharged by a group of three juveniles, including Jaimaire. He was taken to Penn State Holy Spirit Hospital in Camp Hill, where he later died.

Jaimaire loved video games such as Fortnite and 2K, played football and basketball, enjoyed dancing and making Tik Tok videos, and had just finished Rowland Academy while preparing to start 8th grade at CD East Middle School. Authorities treated the death as accidental; investigators did not announce arrests and there were no suspects in the traditional sense.

If anyone knew Jaimaire or was at the gathering that day and has information that could clarify what happened, please share what you remember.
