Austaniel Emmanuel Brown was 22 when he was fatally shot on September 3, 2014, in the 4900 block of Park Heights Avenue in Baltimore. Known to family as Man-Man, he was born November 4, 1991, and described as a Baltimore native who attended city schools. He wrote poems and lyrics while pursuing a music career as a rapper, enjoyed riding dirt bikes and boxing, and was engaged to Sharma Farabee; the couple had a young daughter, Au'Brae.

Baltimore police identified a suspect within weeks. On September 18, 2014, the Regional Warrant Apprehension Task Force arrested 18-year-old Leron Gibbs, who was charged with first- and second-degree murder and additional gun-related offenses and held at the Baltimore City Detention Center.

If anyone knew Austaniel, his routines, or saw activity in the Park Heights Avenue area that day, any information could still matter.
