On the night of June 20, 2014, 19-year-old Patrick Lightbourn Jr. was fatally shot on the front porch of a residence at 620 S.W. Tyler in Topeka, Kansas. The shooting happened at about 1:50 a.m. while roughly a dozen people were gathered outside the two-story house. Multiple rounds were fired from the street, striking both the house and Lightbourn.

Witnesses reported the shots came from a light green car, possibly a Dodge Neon, with several people inside. Patrick was reportedly shielding a 14-year-old girl, Breanna Blake, when he was struck. He was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead there.

Investigators treated the incident as a targeted attack. Two brothers, Damieon Matthew Ortega-Brown, 18, and his 17-year-old brother Dominic Ortega-Brown, were arrested and charged with first-degree murder and criminal discharge of a firearm at an occupied dwelling; Damieon was held without bail after his arrest. Friends and family remembered Patrick as smart, funny, and kind.

Did anyone in the Topeka area see the light green vehicle or have information about that night?
