Martine Denise Brown was 17 when she was shot and killed on February 4, 2001, in the Adams-Normandie neighborhood of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles County coroner’s records list gunshot wounds as the cause of death. The killing happened on a Sunday and left her family and friends grieving for a young woman described as loving and caring, with plans for the future.

More than two decades after the shooting, no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the case remains unsolved and open. The family continues to seek justice and has expressed ongoing sorrow and frustration over the lack of closure.

If anyone has information about Martine’s death or remembers seeing something in Adams-Normandie around February 4, 2001, please come forward to help her family find answers.
