Do you know who murdered 25 year old Larry Brown Jr? In the early morning hours of Sunday, December 16, 1990, a tragic discovery was made in the Crestwood section of Chesapeake, Virginia. Twenty-five-year-old Larry Brown Jr., a married father, was found deceased in his red 1978 GMC pickup truck in the 4800 block of Bainbridge Boulevard. He had been fatally stabbed.
Authorities were initially called to what appeared to be a vehicle accident around 2 a.m.
However, upon investigation by the medical examiner, it was determined that the cause of death was not the crash but a stab wound to his chest. The nature of the wound suggested a personal and angry attack, leading investigators to believe the stabbing occurred inside the truck's close quarters and that the perpetrator was likely known to Brown.
The last time Larry Brown Jr. was seen alive was shortly after midnight on the day he was found, leaving a roughly two-hour window during which the fatal encounter occurred. Investigators believe the vehicle crash may have happened as Brown tried to escape his attacker or that the accident was staged by the perpetrator. Despite the passage of time, the case remains unsolved, and no arrests have been made. There is no information publicly available about any suspects in the murder of Larry Brown Jr. The Chesapeake Police Department continues to seek information from the public, offering a reward for any tips that lead to an arrest.
