On May 11, 2015, 21-year-old Jamil M. Bryant was shot to death in Williamsport, Pennsylvania after a dispute that began over a small amount of marijuana and twenty dollars. What started as a physical confrontation between Bryant and friend Rory Herbert reportedly seemed settled, but Herbert had already involved his cousin Brandon Love. The situation escalated as Brandon Love, Terrance X. Perez, and Cosme Berrones became involved, with threats exchanged by phone and text; Jada Jenkins testified she heard Perez threaten to kill Bryant over speakerphone.

That night Perez and Berrones obtained a semi-automatic rifle. Around 10:30 p.m. Love drove Perez and Berrones through the East End looking for Bryant; Love dropped Perez off near Bryant’s home on Anthony Street. Perez then opened fire, striking Bryant thirteen times with a small-caliber weapon, including a head wound. A forensic pathologist ruled the manner of death homicide.

Investigators arrested three men in connection with the killing. Terrance X. Perez, identified as the shooter, was charged with first-degree criminal homicide, conspiracy, aggravated assault, and possession of a prohibited firearm; Cosme Berrones pleaded guilty to third-degree homicide and agreed to testify against others; Brandon Love pleaded no contest to third-degree homicide and was sentenced to state prison. Does anyone have information about Bryant’s final hours or who might have witnessed the vehicle in the East End that night?
