As of now, viewers do not know exactly how Brandon died, but it could be assumed that he was killed on the streets of Chicago like his brother Coogie (Jahking Guillory).
Early in the episode, there is a random eerie scene of his funeral with a closed coffin and a big photo of him next to it (actor Jason Mitchell isn't actually in the episode at any point). His mother, Laverne (Sonja Sohn), gives a eulogy at the tearful event.

"He never had a damn shot! Neither did Coogie!" she emotionally says. "I had no right to bring those boys into the world. [They] were all I had, and this city took ’em from me. So I’m always gonna be broken. And there ain’t nothin’ that’s ever gonna make me whole again."
Hopefully, we find out more about how he died and what happened in the upcoming nine episodes, but we had a feeling that something bad was about to happen to Brandon considering the behind-the-scenes drama with Jason.
