Brandon A. Haugabook was 19 when he was fatally shot on the evening of July 10, 2009, near Paderewski Drive and Townsend Street on Buffalo’s East Side. He lived in the Willert Park neighborhood. Family and friends remembered him as a loving individual; a public visitation was held at a memorial chapel and his funeral service took place at Mt. Aaron Baptist Church.

The shooting was one of three homicides in Buffalo within a short period, though officials said there appeared to be no connection between those incidents. Buffalo homicide detectives made no immediate arrests, and the case grew cold over the years. The Buffalo Police Department continues to list the investigation as open and no suspects have been publicly identified; the motive remains unclear.

Does anyone who lived on or near Paderewski Drive and Townsend Street in July 2009 have information that could help Brandon’s family?
