Brandon Terrell Washington, 20, was found shot to death inside a Plaza Drive residence in Fort Wayne on October 22, 2015. The Allen County coroner ruled his death a homicide. Authorities say the shooting was part of a series of linked killings that also included his brother, Larry Devon Washington Jr., 21, and 16-year-old Anastasia LaShawn Butler.

Court documents state Hozyfa Sultan entered the Plaza Drive home, asked whether firearms were present, then opened fire. Brandon was killed instantly; another man in the home, Mykell Montgomery, was critically injured but survived. The motive was not immediately clear, and a key witness’s refusal to cooperate once led to Sultan’s temporary release during the proceedings.

Prosecutors later retried the case; Sultan was convicted of Brandon’s murder and the attempted murder of Montgomery and received a 110-year prison term. Does anyone have information about Brandon’s life or who might help explain the conflict that led to this attack?
