Brontava O’Brien Keller, 22, was killed by multiple gunshot wounds on the afternoon of Wednesday, September 26, 2018, in a normally quiet West Gulfport neighborhood. The shooting occurred about 4:30 p.m. in the 3000 block of 57th Avenue; neighbors reported hearing as many as seven shots. Police and emergency crews found Keller at the scene and he was pronounced dead there. A large group gathered as officers cordoned off a significant portion of the block and mourners reacted visibly at the scene.

Despite an initial investigation and public appeals, the case remains unsolved and is now treated as a cold case. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been made. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Gulfport Police Department or Mississippi Coast Crime Stoppers.

If anyone knew Brontava, saw activity in the 3000 block of 57th Avenue that afternoon, or has information not yet shared with investigators, please come forward.
