I grew up with both of them (on TV not reality of course) and I always wondered if that incident scarred Brandon badly, because he seemed to be on the up and then nothing after Santana was killed. A fkd up day for late 90s 2000s kids and fam/friends. I remember.

I remember this story and the response it got. I remember the media trying to paint him as someone from the streets and Steve Harvey came out and fiercely defended him and his character. He said “That boy was not a thug! He wasn’t from the streets!” I don’t know if you’re familiar with the “Moesha Curse,” but I had no idea that Brandon was with him in the car. Brandon, like Merlin, played one of Moesha’s love interests on the show. The show itself has a reputation for being doomed because many of the cast members died unexpectedly.

This story is so disgusting. I remember reading a news story and it said that Merlin was shot outside of a club but it said nothing about what led up to his death. Now I know the truth. I had such a huge crush on him when he was on the Steve Harvey Show back then and was so upset when I heard about his death. Thank you for remembering him and telling his story.

Thank you for this story. R.I.P Merlin Santana such a talented, handsome young man gone too soon

I had the biggest crush on him when I was a kid! I was so heartbroken and disgusted when he was murdered. To think that he lost his life over a petty lie has always made my stomach churn. Just sad and senseless.

@kitsunefaye1661 I wouldn't get set up by a 15 year old because I didn't mingle with young people when I was 26 🤭 not to mention I can tell the difference between a grown women and a minor, there will be red flags to indicate that just from convo or her look 2nd Merlin grew up in Washington Heights during the crack era, 😑 and you telling me he so nieve to the point a 15 year old female out witted him, 🤨 that's a damn shame Lastly if she truly disturbed & psychotic and not quite there, not to mention she 15 and you're telling me Merlin didn't pick up on none of that 🤔 he must of been on something to miss all those signs
