Elmer Brown was a 73-year-old retired Chicago police sergeant who was critically wounded in a violent home invasion on March 10, 2014, and died two weeks later on March 24, 2014. Two men forced their way into his East Side Chicago home through an unlocked door while searching for a safe; they shot Brown in the neck. Brown, who had lost his vision and was diabetic, was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn where he succumbed to his injuries. His wife, Mary Ann Brown, was present during the attack but was not harmed.

Investigators charged three people in connection with the break-in and shooting: Jesse Kazmierski, Jeremy Mendez, and Nicholas Heisler. Reports note the intruders shot Brown after they could not open the safe. Brown had served 38 years with the Chicago Police Department.

Does anyone have information about the incident or knew Sergeant Brown and his family?
