In a statement, Detroit Interim Police Chief James White lamented the rate of senseless killings in the community and condemned Brison's killing, stating that his death sent shockwaves throughout the department.

Federal law agencies and state police work hand in hand to resolve the case and ensure that the 2-year-old gets justice. People with valuable information are asked to call 734.287.5000 or 855.MICH-TIP.

Brison's family has nothing but sweet memories of him in the short time he spent with them. Brian explained that the 2-year-old had a lovable personality and was known for his cheerfulness.

The family is confused as to why their vehicle was targeted. Police authorities do not believe the shooting was sponsored by road rage, but the Christians believe they have no link with any group that should warrant the attack.

Brison's death is one of the stories of the many shootings that have claimed the lives of people this year, some of which have led to the death of children under the age of ten from gun violence.
