Ronald Brown, 64, a Black male, was found dead inside a home in northeast Omaha on Saturday, November 3, 2012. Officers had been dispatched for a welfare check around early afternoon after an anonymous tip directed them to a residence near North 39th Street and Curtis Avenue. When police entered the home, they discovered Brown s body and immediately treated the case as a homicide.
Authorities released few details in the days that followed, including how Brown died or what events led up to his death. The preliminary information focused on the time and place of the discovery and the fact that detectives with the homicide unit had taken over the investigation. Police appealed to the public for help, asking anyone who might have seen or heard something in the area that Saturday to contact the homicide unit or Crime Stoppers.
No arrests have been announced in connection with Brown s killing, and investigators did not release a suspect description in initial reporting. Later summaries of the case continue to list the homicide as unsolved, reflecting an investigation that has not yielded public breakthroughs or identified suspects.
