## Resource

A man named Javonne Rommel Haynes is serving a 40-year sentence for shooting and killing his friend Kadeem Brathwaite in a heated confrontation that began with an alleged gun search. After Brathwaite punched Haynes and called him out, Haynes pulled a gun, chased him down, and fired multiple shots — including after Brathwaite fell. Though the judge acknowledged Brathwaite’s provocative behavior, he emphasized the deadly escalation and Haynes’s pursuit, ultimately sentencing him to a minimum of 17.5 years. Haynes, who turned himself in and apologized to Brathwaite’s family, was reminded by the judge that without the gun, the tragedy wouldn’t have occurred.
