Nathaniel R. Brazill (born September 22, 1986) is an American student who was charged at age 13 with the murder of one of his school teachers, Barry Grunow.[1]

Shooting and conviction

On May 26, 2000, the last day of the 19992000 school year, Brazill shot and killed Barry Grunow, a popular teacher at Lake Worth Middle School in Florida. He was convicted of second degree murder and aggravated assault.[2] Brazill was sentenced to 28 years in state prison followed by 7 years of felony probation.[3][4] He is incarcerated at the Hardee Correctional Institution. His release date is May 18, 2028.[2]

Childhood and student career

As a child, Brazill was surrounded by domestic abuse and alcoholism at home, and local police frequently responded to calls from the Brazill residence.[3][5] Prior to the Grunow murder, however, Brazill was an honor student, described by teachers as being mild mannered and likeable. Grunow was his favorite teacher.[6]
