On the morning of November 8, 2017, 15-year-old Andrew Bryan, a student at Edwards Academy in Temple, Texas, was found fatally shot at Jackson Park. Andrew was African American and was discovered dead at the scene after being shot multiple times.

The suspect, 17-year-old Edgar Lopez-Benitez, was arrested and charged in connection with the case. According to his confession, he followed Andrew to Jackson Park and shot him, and said jealousy over a girl motivated the attack. Lopez-Benitez also admitted setting fire to a home two days before the killing.

The shooting drew significant attention in Temple and the community mourned the loss of the young victim. Does anyone have memories of Andrew or information about the days leading up to November 8 that could add context to what happened?
