Kevin Lamont Brown Jr., a 16-year-old from Fort Worth, Texas, was fatally shot outside his home in south Fort Worth on January 19, 2016. The killing was investigated as a drive-by shooting that involved multiple suspects and a prolonged legal process.

Early in the probe officers arrested Damond Cotton and his girlfriend Ashlynn Durham; Cotton was accused of pulling the trigger and Durham was accused of acting as the getaway driver. Text messages exchanged before and after the shooting were reported as part of the evidence that investigators say show Cotton and Durham planned the attack. Later, Braylin Brown was charged with murder in connection with Kevin Brown’s death; Braylin was already out on bond on an unrelated 2020 murder charge and faced additional counts including engaging in organized criminal activity. Two other suspects named in charging documents include Alexis Abeyta and one unnamed individual.

Court activity and motions were ongoing, with scheduled next appearances noted for Cotton and Durham and Braylin Brown held in jail on a $1 million bond for the separate and related charges. Who remembers Kevin Brown, his family, or anything about the events that night?
