Marcia Brown was a 25-year-old mother of three and a Patient Care Technician at Barnes Jewish Hospital. Friends and family called her Cia; she was remembered as free-spirited, fun, and loving. Her mother said she misses her child terribly.

In the early hours of May 30, 2020, Marcia was found inside a car in the 2700 block of North Grand Boulevard in the Jeff-Vander-Lou neighborhood of St. Louis. She had been shot multiple times and later died at a local hospital. A 30-year-old man who had been with her suffered critical gunshot wounds.

Surveillance footage showed a red Jeep whose occupants fired into the vehicle occupied by Marcia and the other victim. Detectives traced the rental Jeep to the girlfriend of a man named Raymond A. House; the couple was apprehended while attempting to return the rental vehicle and House was found in possession of a firearm. Police initially considered road rage after a high-speed chase, but Marcia’s mother disputed that account and said she believed her daughter was targeted at random.

Did anyone who knew Marcia or who was in that area that night notice the red Jeep or recall what happened leading up to the shooting?
