Botham Jean's neighbor, a key witness in Amber Guyger trial, shot to death in Dallas

Joshua Brown, a key witness in the murder trial of a former Dallas police officer convicted of shooting their neighbor in his own apartment, was shot and killed during a drug deal gone wrong, Assistant Chief Avery Moore said.
Brown was killed after an argument with one of three men from Louisiana who had met him in Dallas for a drug purchase, Moore told reporters.

A conversation between Brown and Thaddeous Green, 22, escalated into a physical altercation in which Brown allegedly shot and wounded Jacquerious Mitchell, 20, according to Moore.
Green then shot Brown twice, Moore said. Green took a backpack from Brown as well as the gun used to wound Mitchell.

After receiving tips, police obtained a search warrant and recovered 12 pounds of marijuana, 143 grams of THC cartridges, and $4,000 in cash from Brown's apartment.

Police are searching for two suspects in connection with the death of Joshua Brown, who testified at the trial of former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger, officials say.

A third suspect is hospitalized and already in police custody.

Brown was shot during a drug deal Friday night at his apartment complex on Cedar Springs Road.

Michael Mitchell, 32, Thaddeous Charles Green, 22, and 20-year-old Jacquerious Mitchell traveled from Louisiana planning to buy marijuana from Brown.

The men got into a fight, and Brown shot Jacquerious Mitchell in the chest, police said. Green then shot Brown. Jacquerious Mitchell told police he heard two gunshots.

Jacquerious Mitchell remains hospitalized. The other two men have not been arrested yet, police said.

Each of the three men faces a capital murder charge, police said.

Investigators found 12 pounds of marijuana and about $4,000 in cash in Brown's apartment during a search, officials said.

And authorities have gone to two houses in Louisiana looking for the suspects, an official said.

Not to toot my own horn but I called this one. Everyone jumps to conclusions in matters like this. “Must’ve been a vengeful cop” or “it was a hate crime.”

Now, the case is far from settled but 12 pounds of marijuana, a butt load of cash, and other illegal items leads me to the conclusion that this was in fact black on black crime. A type of crime that goes on so frequently and is the most common trend in murders of black people yet is hardly ever addressed en masse.
