Maurice Brown was a 19-year-old Black man from Philadelphia whose death is recorded among the city’s homicides in 2012.

There is no detailed news narrative naming witnesses or suspects, and no arrest, charge, trial, conviction, or sentence is apparent in the accessible accounts. What remains is the outline of a young life ended and a case with few public details preserved.

If anyone knew Maurice, was there a neighborhood, workplace, or circle of friends that might hold information about what happened in 2012?
