Who killed Martinez Brown? In the early morning hours of Thursday, February 23, 2017, the life of 44-year-old Martinez Francis Brown, an African-American male, was cut short by gun violence in New Orleans, Louisiana. Known to his loved ones as 'Chop,' Brown was a forklift operator at Walmart. He was remembered by family and friends as a respectful and kind man who always had a smile on his face.
On that fateful morning, Brown was shot and killed in the 2000 block of Reverend John Raphael Way.
