Back on April 28, officers responded to calls of a person shot along the 1300 block of Indian Trail Road, where they found a 22-year-old Jerrett Mitchell dead.

Mitchell, who his family called "Baby," was out shopping for his upcoming birthday the day he died. He stopped for some wings and his family never saw him again. Mitchell has six siblings, had hopes to become a rapper, and was working on a fashion brand.

He was at the studio, pretty much, twice a day. So, it was really big to him," Joccara said, his oldest sister. "And it's messed up that my brother doesn't get to go on. And he doesn't get to live his dream of being a rapper."

Mitchell's friend was also hit in the shooting.
