A heated argument over a vehicle in Murray, Utah, ended with Darnell Kevin Brown, 39, fatally shot on April 21, 2021. The dispute began in an apartment complex parking lot after Darnell reportedly mocked a recently purchased black Range Rover driven by Patrick Koaneil Brown, 42. Witnesses say the argument escalated when Patrick Brown allegedly pulled a handgun, then drove away; Darnell followed. At the intersection of 4500 South and State Street, Patrick Brown is reported to have threatened to shoot if followed. Darnell photographed the temporary tag on the SUV, his car struck Patrick Brown’s vehicle, and after exiting to confront him, Darnell was shot once in the head; additional shots were fired at his vehicle. Emergency crews pronounced Darnell dead at the scene around 1 p.m. His fiancée was a passenger in his car.

Investigators used the photograph of the temporary plate to trace the SUV to a dealership and to Patrick Koaneil Brown. A search warrant at a Midvale home led to his arrest the same day; police report he admitted shooting Darnell and said the firearm was in his residence.

Does anyone have information about the moments before the shooting or saw the vehicles on 4500 South and State Street that day?
