Chris Brown, a 40-year-old African American man from Houston, Texas, was killed on June 19, 2016, while defending his family during a home invasion. The attack happened in the early morning when several men posing as police officers forced their way into the apartment in west Houston. Brown was pistol-whipped, shot during a struggle and later pronounced dead at Ben Taub Hospital. His wife and children were upstairs and were not physically harmed.

The intruders ransacked the apartment, stole various items and took Brown’s Chevrolet Suburban; the vehicle was recovered abandoned a few blocks away. Investigators have said the invasion may have been targeted and that the offenders might have known Brown. Three black males have been identified as suspects but have not been apprehended and the Houston Police Department continues to seek tips.

Anyone who knew Chris or has information about the June 19, 2016 home invasion is asked to come forward with details that could help the investigation.
