Michael P. Brown, 55, was killed in his Milwaukee home during the early morning hours of July 11, 2017. One intruder struck Brown with a gun and the woman was struck when she tried to see the attackers. The men ransacked the house, took two flat-screen televisions and, after roughly twenty minutes, one of the intruders ordered Brown to get on his knees; a single gunshot followed. The woman later found Brown in the living room with a fatal gunshot wound to the head and called 911 from a neighbor’s house.

Investigators arrested 19-year-old Royce Bernard and 22-year-old Arnel Collins. The female witness identified both men from a photo array and indicated Bernard was the more aggressive. Another witness later reported overhearing Bernard say he was too quick to shoot and Collins admit shooting Brown because he wouldn’t give up money and drugs. Bernard was charged with felony murder and Collins faced first-degree intentional homicide and armed robbery charges; Bernard was later sentenced to 25 years in prison. Does anyone have information about Brown’s life in Milwaukee or knew him personally that could add context to his story?
