Brad Maurice Brown, a 41-year-old Los Angeles resident, was shot and killed shortly after 2 a.m. on December 31, 2018, in the 7100 block of Kansas Avenue in the Vermont-Slauson neighborhood. According to the Medical Examiner-Coroner’s report, Brown and another man were inside a parked vehicle in a driveway when a heated argument — reportedly over their wives — escalated. The other man, identified as Charis Dejuan Sheppard, pulled a gun and shot Brown; Brown was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:14 a.m.

Investigators identified and arrested 42-year-old Charis Dejuan Sheppard. On January 18, 2019 the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office filed one count of murder against Sheppard with an allegation that he discharged a handgun during the crime. Bail was set at $3 million and an arraignment was scheduled for March 15, 2019. Authorities asked anyone with additional information to come forward and offered anonymity through Crime Stoppers.

Are there details about the dispute or witnesses in the Vermont-Slauson area that could help clarify what led to this fatal confrontation?
