Brandon Mills was 16 when he was killed on January 23, 2009, in the mass shooting known as the Liberty City Massacre. He was one of two teenagers fatally shot after gunmen opened fire on a group gathered at a street corner; seven other people were wounded in what has been described as an indiscriminate and brutal assault.

A gang leader identified as William Little Bill Brown later confessed to taking part, saying he and another person sprayed bullets into the crowd. Prosecutors offered Brown immunity in connection with his confession, a decision that reportedly shocked and angered victims’ families when they learned of the deal. The shooting remains unsolved in the sense that families continue to push for justice and full transparency about Mills’ death and the legal handling of the perpetrators.

Did anyone in Liberty City at the time see or remember details about that corner or the people who were there that night?
