Sarah Brown, 71, was found dead of a gunshot wound at her Riverhead, New York, home on the morning of August 27, 2019. Police responded after reports of a man carrying a handgun and a nearly four-hour standoff ended when officers breached the Doris Avenue residence and took her husband, 65-year-old Robert Brown, into custody.

Robert Brown was charged with second-degree murder after, according to a criminal complaint, he admitted saying he shot his wife in the neck area. His attorney raised concerns about his mental state, saying he may have a form of dementia. A grand jury later indicted him on second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, but following two competency evaluations a judge found him incapacitated and ordered him sent to a New York State Office of Mental Health facility for treatment; the murder trial was put on hold.

Are there details about Sarah’s life in Riverhead or about the events that morning that anyone can share to help piece together what happened?
