Former NFL player Sergio Brown has reportedly been taken into police custody in connection with the death of his mother.
Brown reportedly was deported Tuesday from Mexico and taken into custody by U.S. law enforcement officers. CNN reports that an arrest warrant had been issued for him in Illinois but that he will probably be forwarded to California.
Just last week, Myrtle Brown’s family released the following statement:
“We implore law enforcement agencies, particularly the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, to work diligently and thoroughly in pursuit of truth and accountability for Myrtle Jean Simmons-Brown. No family should bear the weight of uncertainty regarding the circumstances of their loved one’s passing. We continue to pray for his well-being and advocate for his immediate and safe return to the United States. Let us work together to turn this tragic loss into a force for positive change and justice.”
Myrtle Brown missing on Sept. 16 and her body was found near home that she shared with Sergio. Myrtle’s death is being investigated as a homicide, and that she died as a result of “multiple injuries due to assault.”
