Clarence Brown III, 33, was fatally shot on December 5, 2019, outside the Save Food Super Market on Germantown Street in Dayton, Ohio. The shooting happened just hours after another fatal shooting at Rick’s Jazz Lab that same night. Multiple witnesses were interviewed and investigators obtained surveillance video and ballistic comparisons as part of the inquiry into who fired the shots.

Brown’s death devastated his family, friends, and the Dayton community and came amid broader concern about gun violence after the two linked shootings. If anyone saw activity near the Save Food Super Market that evening or has information about the shootings, please come forward to assist ongoing efforts to answer what happened.
