Investigator Brown was killed in an automobile accident on Route 86 while transporting a prisoner from North Carolina back to Henry County. The suspect was wanted in connection with the burglary of a local florist and was located in North Carolina.

The two were only a few miles from the Virginia border when the unmarked department vehicle veered into oncoming traffic and struck a tractor trailer head-on. Investigator Brown and the suspect were both killed. The driver of the tractor trailer stated that he observed the two occupants of the vehicle struggling as the car veered into his lane of traffic.
