Delvin Devante Mitchell, 25, was shot and killed on January 25, 2019, in the 2300 block of Frisse Avenue in Evansville, Indiana. Police found him inside a vehicle with fatal gunshot wounds to the head after responding to reports of gunfire that night. Born in Milwaukee on December 27, 1993, he was remembered by family and friends for his encouraging, inspiring nature and a bright smile.

Investigators tied the killing to a drug transaction. Prosecutors say Justin Robert Brewer and his wife Amber Brewer arranged to buy marijuana from Mitchell; during the exchange inside Mitchell’s car Justin Brewer allegedly produced a handgun, Amber Brewer fled just before shots were heard, and the Brewers then left the scene together. The couple were later located in Georgia and the murder weapon was recovered from Pigeon Creek in Evansville by an FBI dive team. Amber Brewer cooperated with prosecutors and testified against Justin Brewer, who was charged with murder.

Does anyone have information about Mitchell’s life in Evansville or the Frisse Avenue area that could help clarify what happened that night?
