Brandon Marquis Broadnax, 34, was fatally shot on August 1, 2022, while working out at an LA Fitness on the North Side of San Antonio. The shooting happened just before 7 p.m.; Broadnax was shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities describe the killing as random and say investigators have not found evidence that Broadnax and the suspect knew each other or had a prior altercation.

The suspect, Jessie Marquis MacWilliams, 32, was arrested and charged with murder; reports note he has a long criminal history in Bexar County. Broadnax’s family remembers him as a loving husband, the father of three, a dedicated worker who provided for his children, a man of strong faith and a music lover who often served as the family peacemaker. The LA Fitness has since reopened with increased security measures.

What information could help explain why Broadnax was targeted or what led to the shooting?
