Arthur Brown was 24 when he was shot and killed outside the Pantheon Club at Michigan Avenue and Oakman Boulevard in Dearborn, Michigan, on May 4, 2021. Officers responding to reports of gunfire around 9 p.m. found Brown and another person with gunshot wounds; Brown died after first aid on scene and transport to a nearby hospital.

Investigators quickly focused on a suspect, 31-year-old Donta Orlando Cox, also known by the street name Tay and several aliases. Police described him as 5 feet 9 inches, 160 pounds, with tattoos on his arm, chest and neck, and said the shooting did not appear to be random, noting Brown and Cox may have had an encounter inside the club earlier that evening. A $25,000 reward was offered for information leading to Cox’s arrest, and Brown’s family publicly urged the community to come forward.

Cox later surrendered to authorities. If anyone has information about Brown, his movements that evening, or the encounter at the Pantheon Club, please come forward.
