O’Cyrus Breaux was 14 when he was shot and killed in the early morning hours of July 18, 2017, after a birthday celebration at his Houston home. He was sitting outside with friends when a single gunshot struck him in the stomach; he was taken to a hospital but died of his injuries after telling his mother he was okay.

Days after the shooting, during a separate robbery investigation, O’Cyrus’s older brother Messiah Breaux reportedly confessed to fatally shooting him, saying the shooting was accidental. The family has expressed confusion and pain, and the motive for the shooting remains unclear.

The Breaux family had moved from New Orleans to Houston after a prior shooting in 2011. O’Cyrus is remembered by relatives as funny, chill and a fan of R&B who dreamed of playing professional football. Does anyone have information about that night or about O’Cyrus that could help clarify what happened?
