Anthony L. Brown was 30 and a seven-year veteran corrections officer with the Nassau County Sheriff’s Department when he was killed after intervening at a party. On June 18, 1995, in West Babylon, a dispute between a man and a woman on Essex Street prompted Brown, who was off duty, to step in and break up the altercation. He returned to the gathering, but the male suspect left, retrieved a firearm from home, then returned to the party looking for the person who had intervened.

The suspect found Officer Brown and shot him. Brown, a United States Army veteran, was able to draw his service weapon and return fire, fatally wounding the attacker. Brown later died of his wounds. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, and two sons.

Are there witnesses or relatives who remember that night or can add details about what happened before and after the shooting?
