On the morning of Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 2022, Marshall County deputies in Marysville, Kansas, responded to a 911 call placed about 2:30 a.m. by Gerald L. Brown requesting medical assistance for his wife. Officers found 57-year-old Jennifer Brown inside the Granite Road home with what appeared to be fatal gunshot wounds; she was pronounced dead at the scene and the call became a homicide investigation.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation was asked to assist local authorities. The investigation quickly focused on Gerald Brown, who was 66 at the time and was arrested at the residence on suspicion of first-degree murder and booked into the Marshall County Jail.
