On the morning of September 16, 2019, 30-year-old Eboni Brown of Riverview, Missouri, was found in her home on Thrift Avenue with a fatal gunshot wound to the back of her head. Her children were asleep in another room; one child woke to the sound of the shot, went to investigate and found a man standing over Brown’s body. That man was identified as 31-year-old Anderson Stallings Jr. of Florissant, described in reports as a friend of Brown.

Riverview police arrived around 2:15 a.m. after a call about an assault. Brown was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. Stallings was located on the front porch and arrested; he told officers he had been awakened by the gunshot and that an unknown shooter had fled, but a child’s witness account led to his custody. Investigators also found 172 plastic bags of methamphetamine and an assault rifle in the house. Stallings was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action and faced federal charges for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine; motive had not been established.

If anyone knew Eboni, her circle, or has information about what happened that night, please share what might help the case.
