Naquain Dawtail Brown, 35, was shot and killed in Minneapolis on August 9, 2008. His murder remains unsolved.\n\nBrown’s death is one of many that occurred during a period of rising violence in portions of the city.

The case has seen appeals for information and involvement from community groups such as MAD DADS, and agencies including the Minneapolis Police Department and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension have continued cold-case work and used advanced forensic techniques where possible.

Despite those efforts, a lack of fresh leads and limited witness cooperation has left the investigation stagnant.\n\nIf anyone knew Naquain, was in his neighborhood that night, or has information that could help, please come forward.
