] William Michael Brown Jr. was a 37-year-old African-American man whose life was abruptly ended by gunfire on an autumn evening in Columbus, Ohio. Born on March 5, 1979, he was known to his loved ones by the nickname "Mikey." He was a father and a beloved family member. His obituary remembers him as a loving and giving person who was cherished by his mother, children, and a wide circle of family and friends who now mourn his untimely death.

The fatal incident occurred on Tuesday, October 17, 2017, in the 4900 block of Majestic Drive North on the city's southeast side. At approximately 8:40 p.m., the Columbus Division of Police began receiving multiple calls reporting the sound of gunshots in the residential area. A few minutes later, another call came in indicating that a person had been shot. When officers arrived at the scene, they found William suffering from gunshot wounds.

Emergency responders from the Columbus Division of Fire, Medic 23, provided immediate medical care and transported William from the scene to Grant Medical Center. He was admitted in critical condition, but despite the efforts of medical staff, he succumbed to his injuries. William Michael Brown Jr. was pronounced dead at 9:21 p.m. that same night. The shooting was the 112th homicide in Columbus in 2017. During the incident, a gas line was also struck by a bullet, but it was quickly secured by authorities.

The Columbus Police Department's Homicide Unit immediately began an investigation into William's death. Detectives processed the scene on Majestic Drive, gathering evidence and speaking with potential witnesses in the neighborhood. However, details about what led to the shooting have not been released to the public. No information regarding a possible motive or any persons of interest has been officially announced.

In the days following his death, William's family gathered to remember him. A service was held on Tuesday, October 24, 2017, where friends and family came together to share memories and support one another. He was preceded in death by his father, William Michael Brown, Sr., and survived by his mother and children, among other relatives.

As of today, the murder of William Michael Brown Jr. remains unsolved. His case is listed in the Ohio Attorney General's Unsolved Homicides database, a public record of cold cases that law enforcement hopes can be solved with new information from the public. The Columbus Police Department continues to seek assistance from the community to bring justice to William and his grieving family.

There is no publicly mentioned reward for information in this case. Investigators urge anyone with knowledge about the circumstances surrounding the shooting on Majestic Drive North to come forward. Tips can be submitted to the Columbus Police Department Homicide Unit or through the Ohio Attorney General's office. The family continues to hope that someone will provide the crucial information needed to resolve the case and provide a measure of closure.
