Mary Brown was a 75-year-old Fresno resident who was found severely beaten inside her home on East Robinson Avenue near Dakota and Maroa avenues on November 21, 2017. She was discovered in a critically injured state and died of those injuries six days later, on November 27, 2017.

Friends and family remembered her as a familiar presence in the neighborhood. The violence of the attack shocked relatives, and her son publicly urged authorities to find whoever was responsible. Detectives described the incident as a brutal beating and focused the investigation on identifying and arresting those involved.

If anyone in central Fresno in late November 2017 saw anything unusual around East Robinson Avenue or knew Mary Brown’s movements that week, please share information with investigators.
