Todd Brown was 14 when he was shot and killed inside Discovery Middle School in Madison, Alabama. On February 5, 2010, Brown was walking in a hallway during a class change when another 14-year-old student, Hammad Memon, shot him in the back of the head.

Authorities arrested Memon and a judge ordered he be tried as an adult. Testimony later suggested Memon feared involvement in gang activity and believed killing Brown was his only way out, though police found no evidence of serious gang connections at the school. While out on bond in 2012, Memon and his mother attempted to flee the country and were apprehended in Dallas; both parents, Dr. Iqbal and Safia Memon, were arrested and later pleaded guilty to hindering prosecution.

In 2013 Memon pleaded guilty to murder and received a 30-year sentence; he expressed remorse and asked for forgiveness during his court appearance. The shooting prompted the Madison City School District to add door locks and create a tip line for student safety concerns. If anyone knew Todd or witnessed what happened that day, please come forward with information.
