Brandon Nasir Wingo was 15 and a freshman at Howard High School of Technology when he was shot and killed on May 19, 2016, while walking home along Clifford Brown Walk in Wilmington. Witnesses said a person in a black coat and hoodie approached the students, pulled a gun and fired three times; Brandon was struck in the top of the head and in the buttocks, collapsed between parked vehicles and later died from his injuries.

Investigators tied the killing to a violent feud between the Shoot To Kill gang (STK) and a rival group called Only My Brothers (OMB). Prosecution testimony described the murder as retaliatory: an admitted STK member said Brandon had posted on Facebook something viewed as disrespectful toward a deceased STK associate and that several men agreed to shoot anyone associated with OMB. Surveillance, ballistics and witness testimony linked Diamonte Taylor to the shooting; other men were indicted in a wide-ranging grand jury investigation and charged with first-degree murder, gang participation, conspiracy and firearm offenses. Latasha Pierce was indicted on related allegations involving a vehicle and false statements.

Is there anyone who knew Brandon, his route home, or who saw activity in the Clifford Brown Walk area that afternoon?
