Donald Ray Brigham, 47, was shot and killed in Evansville, Indiana, on the evening of Thursday, March 18, 2021. A family man and father of twelve who loved classic cars and playing cards, Brigham’s death added to a disturbing rise in gun homicides the city was experiencing that year.

The Evansville Police Department opened an investigation but by May 2021 the case had grown cold: no arrests and no suspects were publicly identified. Investigators and community members cited a reluctance to come forward, often driven by fear of retaliation, as a major obstacle to solving the case. The investigation remained open but inactive, leaving the family without answers.

If anyone knew Donald, saw him on March 18, 2021, or has information about the shooting, please share what you know with the Evansville Police Department.
