Brown was shot in the left upper chest near the heart and left side of the neck, both shots hitting the victim from the rear.

Another bullet grazed his I right leg and a fourth nicked onlyi little finger on his right Whether his younger sister, Mrs. Cantley, was purposely shot or killed in the melee has 'not been determined by police.
