Ronald Brown, a 30-year-old Black / African American male from Wilmington, Delaware, was killed on June 5, 2024, after a shooting in Wilmington’s Prices Run area. That Wednesday morning, shortly before 10 a.m., Wilmington police were called to the vicinity of 23rd Street and North Carter Street, where they found Brown suffering from gunshot wounds.
Brown was still alive when officers and emergency responders reached him, but his injuries were severe.
He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later died. Public reports identified him as Ronald J. “Geezy” Brown Jr., and obituary information says he was born in Newark, Delaware, on September 10, 1993, and died on June 5, 2024.
The shooting appeared to unfold in a residential Wilmington neighborhood during the morning hours, leaving police to piece together what happened after Brown was found wounded near the intersection. Authorities described the case as an active investigation and asked anyone with information to contact Wilmington Police Detective Joseph Wicks or submit tips anonymously through Delaware Crime Stoppers.
No publicly available online reports reviewed identified a suspect by name, announced an arrest, or described any filed charges, trial, plea, or conviction connected to Brown’s death. As of the available reporting, the case remained unresolved publicly, with investigators still seeking information from witnesses or anyone who may know what led to the fatal shooting.
