Eugene Brown Jr., 23, was found dead in the roadway on the 1900 block of Second Avenue in Augusta, Georgia, in the early morning of September 10, 2016. The coroner pronounced him dead at the scene at 4:05 a.m.; the cause of death was at least one gunshot wound. He lived on the 2300 block of Franklin Street and was a father to three boys with another child expected.

Investigators report Brown had been at a house on Sullivan Street shortly before he was killed. Several people were present there, including a man named Dakkar Taylor; an argument over marijuana reportedly escalated and Taylor allegedly threatened a woman with a gun. Taylor faced weapons charges arising from that incident, but authorities were unable to establish a direct link between him and Brown’s murder. Law enforcement released Brown’s photograph publicly while seeking information, but no suspects have been officially named or arrested in connection with the killing.

Anyone who knew Eugene, was in the area that night, or has information about what happened is asked to come forward.
