Ira D. Mookers Brown, a 20-year-old Black man from Wilmington, Delaware, was fatally shot during a violent home invasion in the Browntown neighborhood on the night of January 11, 2016. Police responded shortly after 8 p.m. to a residence in the 900 block of Brown Street after reports of gunfire. Officers found two wounded people inside; by the time the incident was accounted for, five people had been shot. Brown was transported to Christiana Hospital in Stanton with critical gunshot wounds and died there.

Investigators later said Brown and 21-year-old Wilmington resident Kaheel Parker had forced their way into the home while attempting a robbery. Reports do not fully explain the sequence of gunfire inside the residence or identify who fired the fatal shot. Parker, after recovering from his wounds, surrendered to police on February 4, 2016, and was charged with multiple counts related to the alleged break-in and shootings; those reports did not say he was charged with murdering Brown. A separate arrest that day charged 21-year-old Terrell Brown with giving a false statement; reporting did not describe him as the gunman or as charged in the home invasion. Ira Brown was buried at Gracelawn Memorial Park on January 19.

Who knew Ira or saw anything around the 900 block of Brown Street that night and can help clarify what happened?
