Charles Bradham, 54, was shot and killed on June 1, 2022, in the 4500 block of Colonial Terrace during what police describe as an attempted robbery that began as a car sale arranged through Facebook. The meeting took place at about 4:00 p.m.; the seller arrived at Bradham’s apartment, they shared a beer, and when Bradham reached for his wallet to give gas money the seller produced a handgun. A female present was shot three times and taken to hospital in stable condition. A nearby witness heard the shots, provided first aid, and a coworker called 911.

Investigators identified 28-year-old Andrew Young as a suspect. The surviving victim picked Young from a photo lineup as looking familiar, phone records and texts linked Young to Bradham, and DNA from a beer bottle at the scene matched Young. Young was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, first-degree assault, attempted robbery, three counts of armed criminal action and unlawful possession of a firearm.

Did anyone in the area see the meeting that afternoon or know of online negotiations about that sale?
