On the afternoon of Monday, September 14, 2020, 22-year-old Darius Stanyon Brown was shot on Warwick Boulevard in Newport News, Virginia. Police arrived about 4:15 p.m. to find Brown with a life-threatening gunshot wound; he was taken to a local hospital and died shortly after. He was born March 2, 1998, in Prince George’s County, Maryland, moved to Newport News in 2011, graduated from Woodside High School in 2016 and attended Thomas Nelson Community College, where he played basketball.

Family and those who knew him described him as fiercely loyal and big-hearted; his death cut short his plans and goals. In October 2020, 27-year-old Phillip Evan Jones of Newport News was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony in connection with Brown’s death.

Is there anyone who knew Darius or saw activity on Warwick Boulevard that afternoon who can help with the case?
