He was approached by three people and was shot as he sat in his vehicle. Sergeant Brown and other detectives were following three subjects as part of an investigation into the theft of firearms and ammunition rounds.
Two subjects were arrested near the scene.

The subject who initiated the weapon trafficking scheme has been charged with over three dozen charges. The driver of the getaway car was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 27 years in prison. A fourth subject has cooperated with authorities, pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter, and sentenced to six years in prison.
