Raymond Scott Brown II, 36, a music producer known professionally as Scotty Beats, was fatally shot on October 13, 2006, in Bowie, Maryland. The shooting occurred when Brown tried to stop the theft of his vehicle as individuals were towing it away to steal its custom rims.

Investigators arrested 24-year-old Jamaal Alexis of Landover, Maryland. In October 2010 a jury convicted Alexis of second-degree murder in Brown’s death, and in December 2010 he received a 140-year prison sentence that also covered the murders of two other victims, Bobby Ennels and Anthony Cash, plus the attempted murder of Frances Lammonse. The case later grew when authorities said a key witness in Brown’s killing was murdered on orders from Jamaal Alexis, allegedly carried out by his brother Rashaad Alexis, which prompted additional legal action.

Does anyone have information about Brown’s life in Bowie or details about the witness who was killed?
