Wayne Brown, 25, was found in the corridor on the 11th floor of the Madison Hotel on South Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard in Atlantic City on the morning of August 12, 2020, after a 911 call reporting a shooting. Emergency responders attempted to save him, but he died at the scene; authorities treated the death as a homicide tied to that late summer morning.

Detectives from the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit and Atlantic City police processed the hallway, canvassed for witnesses and sought surveillance footage. Within days investigators charged 22-year-old Atlantic City resident Keshawn T. Faulkner; prosecutors accused him of fatally shooting Brown during a robbery inside the hotel and charged him with felony murder, robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm. An indictment returned in February 2021 added possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.

Court filings and reporting said hotel surveillance video captured the shooting and witnesses described Faulkner firing while taking money from another man, with Brown caught in the violence. Does anyone who was in or near the Madison Hotel that morning have information that could help clarify what happened in the eleventh-floor corridor?
