A Birmingham man has been charged in the death of a 13-year-old boy was killed when his ATV was hit by the driver fleeing a nearby shooting scene.

Antonio Tremayne Weldon Jr., 24, is charged with reckless manslaughter in the 2024 death of Braylen “Bray Bray” Hardy, a seventh-grade student and basketball player at Bush Hills STEAM Academy, according to court records made public Wednesday.

Weldon was booked into the Jefferson County Jail on the felony charge Tuesday afternoon and remains held on $30,000.

Charging documents allege Weldon was under the influence of alcohol when he collided with Braylen’s ATV.

Braylen was sitting on his four-wheeler on a sidewalk on Avenue E in his father’s neighborhood that Saturday evening, Oct. 26, 2024.

He and his dad and brothers had just finished riding, a family activity they liked to do every chance they got.

It was about 6:45 p.m. when there were shots fired nearby, in the 2400 block of Avenue D.

Birmingham police said a vehicle fleeing the shooting scene crashed into the child.

The driver – later identified as Weldon – fled on foot, but Birmingham patrol officers took him into custody a few blocks from the scene.

Braylen’s mother, Vannessa Riggs, previously told AL.com her son was about to put up the ATV for the night.

Ruggs rushed to the scene but by the time she got there, Braylen had already been taken to Children’s of Alabama.

Braylen stopped and started breathing a couple of times, and he was put on a ventilator once at the hospital.

The impact of the collision injured Braylen’s lungs and head, and he also sustained a broken leg and a broken arm.

“We were trying to see if God was going to turn it around,’’ Riggs previously said.

Three days later, after multiple tests showed no brain activity, the family made the decision that they didn’t want to see Braylen suffer any longer.

“The only thing keeping him was the breathing machine,’’ Briggs said. “I just decided to let him go, to be an angel.”

Braylen loved to play video games, and he loved to eat – especially a six-piece of mild wings with Cajun ranch cheese fries. He also loved school and was loved by teachers and administrators.

“He was just a happy kid,’’ his mom said.

Braylen left behind three brothers and a sister who are also mourning the loss of the outgoing little boy.

“He loved to spend time with his family,’’ his mother said. “He was just a fun-loving kid.”
