On July 16, 2024, 19-year-old Jakiem O. Braggs was fatally shot on Kathy Street in Fulton, Missouri. According to reports, Braggs was ambushed while in his car and died after returning fire.

The initial investigation produced several arrests. Three Fulton adults — 19-year-old Quiara Walton, 20-year-old Emmanuel Brown, and 23-year-old Taeon Logan — and a juvenile were taken into custody. Walton and Logan were originally charged with first-degree murder, and Brown was charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder; charges against Logan were later dismissed.

A grand jury later returned indictments naming Mitchell Henderson Jr., 44, and Quiara Walton on first-degree murder and armed criminal action counts, with Henderson also charged with illegal gun possession. Emmanuel Brown was indicted for first-degree accessory to murder and armed criminal action. All three were being held in Callaway County Jail without bond awaiting arraignment.
