Dorothy Judy Brown, 74, was fatally shot on the evening of February 20, 2016, while seated in a car in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel restaurant in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She and others had been preparing to have dinner when a gunman opened fire, a series of attacks that struck several locations around the Kalamazoo area. The spree left six people dead and two others critically injured.

Brown, known to friends and neighbors in Battle Creek as Judy, was remembered as kind and generous, someone who shared fresh herbs from her garden and had a warm, friendly demeanor. She was a mother to two adult sons and described by those who knew her as a sweet, sweet old lady.

Jason Dalton, 45 at the time, was identified and arrested in connection with the shootings and charged with multiple counts related to the attacks, including six counts of murder and counts of assault with intent to murder and felony firearm possession.
