Brandon Lloyd was 22 and a Miami-Dade College student when he was killed in a drive-by shooting on November 13, 2011, in the Overtown neighborhood of Miami. Known as Charlie to friends, he was hanging out near a corner store in the early hours when stray bullets struck him; he was not the intended target. His family marked their first Christmas without him that year.

Brandon’s mother, Karen Lloyd, and local clergy worked with the Miami Police Department and residents to organize a peace march in December 2011 that drew more than 75 people and aimed to raise awareness about gun violence and strengthen community ties. The Miami Police Department lists his murder among the city’s unsolved homicides, and Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers has offered a reward for information. Anyone who knew Brandon or has information is asked to contact authorities.
