Dorian Brown, 27, was fatally shot on October 28, 2017, in Jacksonville, Florida. He was one of two men killed in a double homicide that occurred in the Moncrief area, near the intersection of 28th and Stuart streets. Brown, along with 30-year-old Darnell Dues, was found with multiple gunshot wounds. Both men were rushed to the hospital, but they succumbed to their injuries shortly after.
Investigations revealed that Dorian Brown was not the intended target of the shooting.
His family, including his three young children, were left devastated by his tragic and unexpected death. Nearly two years later, Jacksonville authorities arrested DonJuan Powell Jr., who was identified as a suspect through evidence found at the crime scene. Powell was charged with second-degree murder, and authorities believe he may have been involved in other violent incidents during that period.
The case remains a stark reminder of the ongoing gun violence in Jacksonville, and law enforcement continues to urge anyone with additional information to come forward to help close the investigation.
