John Brown, 79, was found dead at his Leonidas Drive home in Baton Rouge on a Saturday in September. Authorities determined he died of two gunshot wounds, one to the head. The Baton Rouge Police Department focused its investigation on a family member who lived in the same house.

Douglas Brown, the victim’s 30-year-old son, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, obstruction of justice, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Surveillance from a camera under the home’s carport was reported to show the son’s movements on the night of the shooting. After his arrest he was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison and was at one point found incompetent to stand trial and ordered to be detained at Eastern Louisiana Mental Health System; a later evaluation deemed him competent so the case could proceed.

John Brown was a student at Southern University working toward a master’s degree with graduation planned for December and was described as having more than 30 grandchildren. If anyone knew John Brown or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know with investigators.
