It started as an innocent night owl for teenage friends heading to Brunswick Lane's bowling alley in Chula Vista. It ended with gunfire and a crash leaving a community in mourning. I had to get a phone call three hours later and tell me one of my best friends was gone. It's like, like he took a piece out of me on March 16th, 2008, 15 year old Donnell Davis and 16 year old Brandon Johnson rode with a couple of friends to the bowling alley when they got to Brunswick Lanes. They found out the group they were there to meet was gone. The manager reportedly told them that their friends got into a fight with another group of teens and all of them were kicked out, turned away from Brunswick Lanes in Chula Vista. Dannell and Brandon, they got into a car with their friends and we're heading to a different bowling alley in Elel on the freeway. Someone in the car said they thought someone was following them. Then on the 54 just east of Briarwood, somebody pulled alongside the driver's side and opened fire. The car comes up beside them and they start getting shot. The drivers hit Donnell and Brandon are, are hit and then the driver lose control of the car and rolls and a couple of kids are ejected. Uh, but even with that, the, the medical examiner said they would have survived the crash, that it was a gunshot wounds that, that killed them. Sergeant, Tim Chandler heads up the San Diego County Sheriff's cold case unit. He says Davis and Johnson had no reason to think they were in any kind of danger that night. And they may have simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time. So, it may have been gang motivated and misidentification. That's sort of what we think. That's a distinct possibility and that's not that uncommon. Uh, a lot of times if one gang feels they've been disrespected, they will simply target somebody they think is they think might be in that game. The detectives scoured the freeway the night of the shooting and into the next day looking for any evidence. It's been more than 16 years and even with a $50,000 reward out for information, investigators have no answers. How frustrating is it to see, you know, two young boys just taken for no reason? Oh, that's, that's very frustrating because it's, you know, sometimes you can say, well, if this person wasn't doing, you know, involved in this or involved in that. Well, these are our two young kids, four really? They were doing whatever any normal teenager would do and going out trying to meet some friends and for the parents, it's heartbreaking because there's no explanation. There's no, you know, there's no, why did this happen? There's right now, there's no satisfaction because we haven't arrested anybody. It never goes away. Carlo Cetto for CBS Eight News and that heart rate break. So real CB SS eight spoke to family members for this story, their pain and frustration still so raw. They declined to be interviewed for this story.
