On June 15, 1998, 13-year-old Maurice Purifie was brutally murdered on Horace Street in central Toledo.

Maurice's body was found with one bullet in his chest and four in his head. It was a murder that was front-page news and shocked the city.

Wayne Braddy and Karl Willis were sent to prison in January, 2000, for the murder. To this day, they claim they had nothing to do with Maurice's killing.

On Aug. 14, 2019, 11 Investigates released "Guilty without Proof," the monthslong look into the murder and the innocence claims of Braddy and Willis. Because of the investigation, the Ohio Innocence Project has filed a motion seeking a new trial.

But, for now, Braddy and Willis remain in prison.
