Charles Brown

Charles Christopher Brown was a 44-year-old Black man whose life was ended by gun violence in St. Louis, Missouri, just after the Christmas holiday in 2020. The sources available do not offer details about his personal life, family, or work.

Late on the night of Monday, December 28, 2020, Mr. Brown was found shot to death inside a residence in the 3400 block of Goodfellow Boulevard. His death marked a grim milestone for the city, becoming its 260th homicide of the year, the highest total St. Louis had experienced since 1993.

When police arrived, their investigation began at the home where Mr. Brown was found. A news photographer at the scene noted that investigators seemed to focus their attention on a wooded area located behind the nearby Hillvale Apartments, though the significance of this search was not made public.

In the days following the discovery, authorities did not release any information about a potential motive or person of interest. As of the last available report in December 2020, no arrests had been made in the case. The homicide of Charles Christopher Brown remains unsolved.
