Jahlel Brundidge was 18 when he was fatally shot in Topeka, Kansas, on August 5, 2022. Described as a Black/African American male, his death is recorded as a homicide that left family and the community searching for answers.

The Topeka Police Department investigated the shooting and focused on a single individual as the person of interest; that person was later arrested and charged in connection with Brundidge’s death. Legal proceedings moved forward and the arrested individual was ultimately convicted for the murder.

The conviction closed the criminal case but cannot restore a life ended in violence. Does anyone have information about Jahlel, where he spent time, or any details from that evening that could add context to what happened?
