“Brandon always had fancy cars. That was his thing,” she began. “One night, he was driving home, he got in some kind of altercation with someone on the road. Some kind of road rage altercation. He and this other person were, like, kind of racing on the road.”
“Brandon thought he got away from this guy and turned into a neighborhood, and it ended up being a dead end,” she continued. “When he turned around in the cul de sac, the person was waiting for him. So, he just drove really fast, as fast as he could pass him. He kind of put his head down … and the guy shot him, like, six times.”

Call was “really lucky that he survived that,” she added.
