Very little information is available online about Darrick Brasley's life. Still, we know that he had family and friends who loved him. He was only 39 years old at the time of his death.

In the early morning hours on Sunday, 11/25/2012, Darrick was out and about in the 1200 block of Columbus Street located in the 7th Ward in New Orleans. At approximately 3:50 am, someone opened fire striking Darrick twice, once in the right side of his neck and another in the chest. Darrick was still clinging to life and was rushed to the LSU Health - New Orleans hospital. He eventually passed away from his injuries later that evening. Unfortunately, tragedy would come to the family once again when Darrick's brother, Christopher Watson, would also be murdered in New Orleans on Christmas Day, 2015.

There have been no arrests, and the case is still open.
