Bryan Morrel Gradney, 54, was shot and killed on October 5, 2022, in Baytown, Texas. He was shot inside a car on Tri City Beach Road near Evergreen Road and was one of four people wounded in a series of shootings that night. Bryan died at the scene; a woman in the same vehicle survived, and two other people — a man and a woman — were shot separately at Bay Oaks Harbor Trailer Park.

Authorities identified 33-year-old Baytown resident Ron Welch as the suspect. Welch confronted arriving officers after the shootings and was killed in an exchange of gunfire with police, who say they were forced to fire. Police have not released a motive, though they believe the victims were his neighbors. Bryan was a Baytown resident for 16 years and is survived by his wife Lori Parker, adoptive son Reeko Goodley, step-daughters Bridget Turner and Brooke Buchanan, siblings Ronald and Patricia Gradney, and grandchildren.

Does anyone have information about Bryan, his movements that night, or the neighborhood that could help clarify what led to these shootings?
