On November 9, 2015, 28-year-old Antonio Brown was found shot to death on the east side of Detroit. Responders discovered him lying in the street on the 11400 block of Somerset Avenue, near Canyon Street and Morang Avenue, at about 2:15 a.m. Emergency medical personnel performed CPR but Brown was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators described an active crime scene and recovered more than a dozen shell casings, indicating heavy gunfire. Detroit homicide detectives canvassed the neighborhood for witnesses and evidence; initial reports gave no description of a suspect and no arrest was announced. Family members at the scene said Brown worked two jobs, had recently welcomed a newborn and was expecting another child, and they called the killing senseless while suggesting it might have involved a dispute over a woman.

Anyone who has information about what happened that night or knew Antonio’s movements is asked to come forward.
