I wanted to share an important update.
On November 17, 2025, Albert Briseno Jr., the individual responsible for taking my son’s life on November 10, 2024, was finally arrested on first-degree murder charges.
The arrest of the individual responsible for this horrific act marks the first step toward justice for our son, Prince Michael. We are deeply grateful for the work of the District Attorney’s Office, who remained committed, persistent, and determined throughout this long journey. Their dedication brought us to this moment.
Despite early missteps in the investigation and the misinformation reported in the media, the truth has always been clear. The evidence shows that our son was intentionally targeted and harmed. Our family has waited over a year for accountability, and we have no doubt that the full truth will continue to come forward.
This is only the beginning, but our son deserves justice – and we will continue to fight for him until the very end.
— Mr. & Mrs. Banner

February 27, 2009
Prince Michael Banner was born on February 27, 2009 — a son, a brother, a friend, and a light to all who knew him. A sophomore at Stockdale High School, he was goofy, loyal, humble, and full of heart.
He loved the outdoors, riding bikes and quads, playing his PS5 and drums, playing sports, listening to music, and most of all, being surrounded by his family and close friends.
Summer of 2023
Behind his bright spirit, though, was a painful truth. In the summer of 2023, Prince Michael’s bike was stolen by a peer his age — the identified perpetrator who targeted Prince Michael. He endured more than a year of bullying and threats. The perpetrator never traveled alone; he was always surrounded by a group of peers who consistently intimidated others and was known to flash firearms. One major incident occurred at a Stockdale High football game, yet no protective action was taken by the school.
Other parents have privately confided that their children were also bullied or physically harmed by the identified perpetrator, but they are afraid to speak out due to fear and retaliation. So I will be the voice for every child who was taunted, harmed, or silenced by this group. No child should walk in fear.
November 10, 2024
On November 10, 2024, Prince Michael’s life was tragically cut short.
His killer has been identified, yet justice has not been served. The delays in this case highlight a painful reality: Black boys are rarely seen as victims, even in death. Prince Michael is not here to speak for himself, but his family, friends, and community will never stop telling his truth.
Prince Michael Forever 15 stands as a reminder that every young life holds value and deserves protection. We are committed to turning pain into purpose, ensuring our youth are uplifted, defended, and never forgotten
