Charles Eggers, 23, of Cleveland, was found fatally shot in the head under the West 25th Street Bridge in the Brooklyn Centre neighborhood on the afternoon of March 24, 2023. Officers discovered his body at the intersection of Bradwell Avenue and Pearl Road after a call about an unresponsive man at around 2:40 p.m. Family remembered him as funny and kind and said they were heartbroken.

Investigators identified two suspects, 36-year-old Aaron Parsons and 27-year-old Danielle Mayne-Hicks, alleging the pair approached Eggers near the railroad tracks under the bridge, assaulted him, and that Parsons shot him. Parsons was taken into custody on April 5, 2023. He was charged with aggravated murder, murder, aggravated robbery, robbery, kidnapping, tampering with evidence, and having weapons under disability; Mayne-Hicks was charged with aggravated robbery, robbery, and kidnapping.

Investigators also linked Parsons to a February 21, 2023 attack in the same area in which a 59-year-old double amputee was allegedly kidnapped, beaten, and left on the tracks, his wheelchair discarded and his vehicle set on fire. The prosecutor said the death penalty was being considered. If anyone knew Charles or has information about what happened, please share what can help the investigation.
