Kameron Karltess Brown, a 30-year-old African American man and U.S. Army veteran who served in Afghanistan, was killed on August 31, 2019, in Odessa, Texas. He was one of seven victims struck during the mass shooting in front of Ratliff Stadium. Kameron was on his way to work when a single bullet came through the window of his truck and fatally struck him. His family remembered him as a joyful person who loved to make others smile.

The shooter, identified as Seth Aaron Ator, was later found dead after a standoff with police; reports note Ator had a history of mental health issues and had been reported to authorities multiple times before the shooting. Kameron’s funeral included military honors and he was buried at Eastlawn Memorial Park in Early, Texas. His mother, Mary Brown, publicly forgave the shooter and his family and friends have since been involved in efforts to honor his memory and advocate for safety and mental health awareness.
