At Rest

Deadly force
The owner of a house notorious to the police--and the scene of a drug arrest only two hours before--called police to report two trespassers. Local police arrived to find Brown and another man in their car, unwilling to explain themselves, and trying to leave. Police claimed to be in fear of their lives from the unarmed pair, shot Brown to death, and gravely wounded the other. The families filed suit.
This record exists so that Ralph A. Brown, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
