Brandon Thomas, 30, of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed on September 12, 2020, in Pittston while helping his girlfriend, Samantha Smart, unload salon supplies from her car. He was found face down in a pile of yard waste next to a basement door after being shot multiple times. The shooter, identified as 33-year-old Joey Bernard Graves Jr., was at the residence and reportedly became jealous that Thomas was there.

Graves was arrested at the scene and admitted to the shooting. During the investigation he said Thomas was assisting Smart with items for her new hair salon. It was later reported Graves had been diagnosed with paranoid personality disorder and schizophrenia and had been self-medicating with alcohol and cocaine instead of taking prescribed medications. Thomas’s mother, Priscilla Thomas, has described her son as selfless and giving, and his death has had a deep impact on family and community.

Does anyone have details about the timeline that night or witnessed Thomas helping at the property?
