Brandon Smith, 27, was killed and nine others wounded when gunfire erupted at a large community block party in the Holly Cove neighborhood of Chesapeake, Virginia, on the night of May 25, 2019. The event, promoted with the theme Guns down, hands up, drew a big crowd; a dispute between two groups escalated into a shootout and numerous people were struck in the chaos. Smith, who lived in Suffolk, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Family and neighbors held a vigil in the days after the shooting and remembered Smith as a good person; a cousin recalled a close childhood bond. The block party organizer said the gathering was intended to be family-friendly and that people from outside the immediate neighborhood started the trouble. Police who were already in the area because of traffic responded and found multiple victims, but in the immediate aftermath no arrests had been announced and no suspects were publicly identified.

Does anyone who attended that night or knew Brandon have information that could help investigators?
