Brian Lee Simpson, 41, was shot to death during a home invasion at his Central Beach residence in Vero Beach, Florida, on November 17, 2011. A longtime resident of Vero Beach originally from Canton, Ohio, he worked as an outside sales representative for Central Window Co. and was active in the Coastal Conservation Association. He is survived by his wife, Kristen J. Simpson, and their two children, Scott and Samantha Simpson.

The two alleged intruders were identified as Henry Lee Jones Jr. and Darius Robinson. Jones, described as a 30-year-old career criminal, was arrested and later convicted of first-degree murder and armed burglary; the jury found he did not fire the fatal shot but noted he had a gun during the burglary. Robinson, who was 16 at the time, testified for the prosecution and forensic evidence including blood spatter on Jones shoes was presented at trial. The community held a candlelight vigil and a celebration of life for Simpson.

Does anyone have firsthand knowledge of the events that night or information that could shed light on the case?
