Joshua Bernard Brown was 27 when he was shot and killed in the early morning hours of April 30, 2016, after leaving a house party on Cameron Avenue in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He was taken to a hospital but died later that day; an autopsy found he had been shot twice, one bullet penetrating the heart and lungs.

Witnesses said Harry Lee Hunter Jr., 26, pulled out a gun and shot Brown as Brown was getting into a van. Hunter fled the scene and was later located and arrested by the United States Marshals Service in Florida. Firearm evidence from the scene underwent forensic testing during the investigation.

Brown’s death deeply affected his family and the local community and prompted calls for stronger measures to curb gun violence. If anyone saw the shooting or has information about Brown’s last movements that wasn’t reported, please come forward.
