Earl Brown

How they died

Deadly force

Brown was the longtime security guard in a recycling plant who called police to report an intruder in the early morning hours. Arriving officers saw a man with a weapon in plainclothes, Brown, and shot him without warning. He died a few days later of his injuries and two heart attacks.
