January 6 defendant

Archive card · not a photograph

Ethan Aaron Bray is a young man from Blue Springs, Mississippi, up in Union County in the north end of the state. He was 25 years old when the federal government came for him. Twenty five. Most men that age are still figuring out what they want to be. He did not go to Washington alone. He went with family. FACT: Ethan Aaron Bray of Blue Springs, Mississippi was charged in connection with January 6 alongside Toney Sheldon Bray. FACT: The Justice Department announced the two together as a Mississippi father and son. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: One local Mississippi outlet described the two men as brothers. The family relationship as reported is inconsistent between sources. CHARGE ONLY: The counts included obstruction of law enforcement during civil disorder, knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building. Those are charges. Ethan Aaron Bray is presumed innocent of every count. FACT: An additional allegation involving a Capitol Police riot shield was brought against Toney Sheldon Bray, not against Ethan Aaron Bray. Read that carefully. The most serious allegation in that family case does not belong to this young man. DOCUMENTED INFERENCE: Reporting states the Brays were identified in part because they had been cited for a curfew violation the night before January 6 and were wearing the same clothing in both records. That is how the government matched a face to a name. It is not, by itself, proof of any act inside the building. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: A Justice Department announcement indicates the two were later convicted on felony and misdemeanor counts. No verified sentencing record for Ethan Aaron Bray was located in this review. FACT: On January 20, 2025, the presidential proclamation granted pardons for offenses relating to the events at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. Ethan Aaron Bray of Blue Springs, Mississippi has most of his life still in front of him. The record should say what it actually says about him, and nothing more. CASE RECORD Case number: 1:23-cr-00306 (complaint case 1:23-mj-00005) Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Charged: 2023 This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
