Willie Brown Jr. was 31 when he was found with a gunshot wound on the evening of Wednesday, September 7, 2016, in the 800 block of South Ellis Street. Cape Girardeau police discovered Brown at the scene and he was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators say the killing followed a planned robbery. Two people were arrested: Heather N. Visitor, then 30, and a 16-year-old male who was later certified to stand trial as an adult. Both were charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action, and attempted first-degree robbery. According to the probable-cause statement, Visitor and the juvenile planned to rob Brown and the juvenile allegedly fired the fatal shot; nearby surveillance footage reportedly captured audio of a male demanding Brown’s belongings and a gunshot.

Does anyone have information about Brown’s movements that evening or the neighborhood surveillance that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
