Christavian Jerrod Baker, 37, of Brownfield, Texas, was fatally shot in Brownfield on July 4, 2015. The shooting prompted a major investigation and later criminal proceedings.

Brownfield Police arrested 50-year-old Fernando F. Fernandez early the morning after the shooting and charged him with Baker’s murder. Prosecutors called about 20 witnesses at trial. That conviction was later overturned on appeal after a court found Fernandez had not been properly interrogated and had not been read his rights, a development that altered the legal course of the case.

The community continues to seek answers and closure in Baker’s death. Anyone with information about the shooting or events in Brownfield around July 4, 2015, is asked to come forward.
