💔 ABOUT BRANDON COOPER:
Brandon was a 35-year-old Beavercreek, Ohio resident and devoted family man who drove for Lyft to support his wife Brittney and their children. His mother Michelle described him as someone simply trying to make an honest living. He had no idea the ride request he accepted that night was a deadly setup. His death sparked a major civil lawsuit against Lyft, with his family alleging the platform's lack of passenger verification created a dangerous environment for its drivers. 🕊️

⚖️ THE EVIDENCE:
Investigators cracked the case using Lyft account records, OnStar crash data, the recovered stolen Kia Optima 🚘, and — most damning of all — social media videos of Peaks brandishing a firearm just hours before the killing 📱. At only 15 years old, Peaks already had a chilling history of threatening behavior, including threatening to "shoot up" a school at age eight. Despite mental health services and mentoring, the warning signs were never enough to stop what was coming. 🔎
