Brandon Dominique Wren was 15 when he died from a gunshot wound to the neck on May 3, 2015. The shooting happened about 11 p.m. inside the family home on the 4100 block of Fremont Ave. N. in Minneapolis. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner confirmed the cause of death.

Authorities say the firearm had been found in a nearby park and brought into the house. Brandon was shot in an upstairs bedroom when his 14-year-old brother accidentally discharged the weapon; an 18-year-old brother was also present. Police recovered the gun and are treating the death as a homicide, with the Hennepin County Attorney to decide whether charges will be filed.

Brandon was a ninth-grader at Patrick Henry High School, described by family as always laughing and hoping to be a basketball star. If anyone knew Brandon or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
