Bernice Ann Brown, 43, was fatally shot on Wednesday, August 1, 2018, in Kansas City, Missouri, after she intervened in a dispute involving her son. The confrontation began about 3:30 p.m. near 50th Street and Chestnut Avenue when Brown’s son went to the home of 20-year-old Tyjuan K. Caldwell to confront him over money. A physical fight between the two men was broken up, then a second fight began between Brown’s son and Caldwell’s brother.

Bernice Brown arrived and tried to break up the second fight. According to police, Caldwell went inside his home, retrieved a gun, and returned outside. Caldwell told police he fired three times toward Brown’s son’s legs; Brown stepped into the line of fire and was struck. She was found in the street and the Jackson County Medical Examiner ruled her death a homicide.

Caldwell was charged with second-degree murder and armed criminal action in connection with Brown’s death. Did anyone in the area witness the events near 50th and Chestnut that afternoon or have information that could shed light on what happened?
