Julian Brown was 31 when he was found fatally shot at a Thirlane Road residence in Roanoke County, Virginia, after a 10:22 p.m. call on October 26, 2020. Officers arriving at the scene discovered Brown deceased with what appeared to be gunshot wounds.

Investigators learned Brown’s two children were missing from the home along with his vehicle. A person who lived with Brown was reported absent and became a person of interest; a statewide alert was issued for the children and the vehicle. Law enforcement later stopped Brown’s vehicle in Chesterfield County after a pursuit that passed through Mecklenburg County. The suspect was taken into custody, the children were recovered unharmed, and the suspect faced charges related to the pursuit and was held without bond. At the time of these reports, charges connected to Brown’s death were pending as the investigation continued.
