Courtney Marie Brown, 24, was shot and killed in her New Haven, Indiana, home in the early hours of September 20, 2018. Court records and reports say a domestic argument with her husband, Wiley Brown III, began while their two young children slept in the house. According to Wiley’s account, he became emotional, cried, and when Courtney tried to comfort him he pushed her away, retrieved a gun from a closet and fired once into the floor. Courtney reportedly attempted to take the gun; as she grabbed for his left hand he fired two more shots, one striking her in the forehead and killing her.

After the shooting, Wiley Brown III called his father to pick up the children, went briefly to a friend’s house and then drove to the New Haven Police Department around 2:30 a.m. He turned himself in and told an officer he had killed his wife. Police found the front door open, Courtney’s body, a man’s wedding ring, a handgun and spent shell casings near the scene. Wiley Brown III was arrested and charged with murder and held without bail.

Does anyone have information about Courtney’s life in New Haven or about what happened that night that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
