On the afternoon of March 28, 2022, Timothy Treyvon Brown, a 35-year-old Black man, was fatally shot inside an apartment building at 2400 Elliot Avenue in Minneapolis. The shooting occurred at about 5:14 p.m., and the Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled Brown’s death a homicide, listing multiple gunshot wounds as the cause.

Investigators worked the case for nearly two years without naming a suspect publicly. In early 2024 authorities linked Deandre Franklin to the scene through DNA: his profile was identified as a major contributor to samples taken from four 10mm cartridge casings recovered at the apartment. A witness later said they drove Franklin and another person to the building on the day of the shooting and heard several gunshots shortly after the two went upstairs. Because Franklin has multiple prior felony convictions and is barred from possessing firearms or ammunition, federal prosecutors charged him with illegal possession of the ammunition; he has not been formally charged with Brown’s murder as of early 2024 and the homicide investigation remains ongoing.

Did anyone see Timothy Brown or a 10mm handgun near 2400 Elliot Avenue on March 28, 2022, or have information about who was in that building that afternoon?
