On the evening of August 10, 2007, 38-year-old Naeem Albertus Brown was found shot and unresponsive on the front steps of a home at 305 Dundee Avenue in Richmond, Virginia. Police investigated his death as a homicide.

The investigation led authorities to Orillion Craddock. A sawed-off shotgun was recovered during a search of Craddock’s grandmother’s residence, and Craddock was later charged and convicted in federal court for being a felon in possession of a firearm and for possession of an unregistered sawed-off shotgun; he received a 120-month sentence.

There are gaps in the publicly stated timeline and in how the recovered weapon was linked to Brown’s shooting. Anyone with memories of the neighborhood or information about the case is asked to share what they know.
