Brandon Burton, a 34-year-old Black/African American man from Opelika, Alabama, died after a February 26, 2017, confrontation at a residence on Wallahatchie Road in Pike Road. The evening incident escalated into a physical struggle and a firearm was discharged; Burton was struck by a gunshot, transported to a local hospital, and later pronounced dead.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office investigated the death and questioned an acquaintance of Burton in connection with the shooting. After reviewing the evidence and circumstances of the altercation, investigators determined the shooting was an act of self-defense and did not file charges or make any arrests.

Are there anyone who knew Brandon or who was in Pike Road that night who can share details about what led to the confrontation?
