Brandon Dale Stamey, 24, was fatally shot on May 27, 2021, on the 1000 block of 3rd Street SE in Cleveland, Tennessee. Officers who responded to reports of gunfire found Stamey with a gunshot wound; medical personnel pronounced him dead after first aid was administered at the scene. Stamey had worked at Murmaid Mattress and Tecco of Cleveland and attended Cleveland High School; he was described as a young father.

Investigators treated the shooting as a targeted, deliberate act and focused on identifying those responsible. A man named Michael Leon Sims was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with the killing. Two others, Joseph Dewayne Bishop and Morgan Leigh Mills, were later indicted by a Bradley County grand jury on allegations they knew of a plan by Sims and did not notify authorities.
