Joshua Brown, a 29-year-old resident of Leesburg, FL, was tragically shot and killed in Eustis, FL, on March 30, 2018. The incident occurred around 4:30 a.m. near the intersection of Glover Street and Orange Avenue. Witnesses reported hearing multiple rounds of gunfire, describing the scene as chaotic and alarming.
