Just days after Joshua Brown was brutally murdered Dallas police have named three suspects and have two in custody.
What We Know:
- 28-year-old Joshua Brown was murdered shortly after taking the stand as a key witness in a trial against former police officer Amber Guyger.
- Dallas police issued arrest warrants for Michael Diaz Mitchell,32; Thaddeous Charles Green,22; and Jacquerious Mitchell, 20 during a press conference Tuesday morning.
- The three suspects allegedly traveled approximately four hours from Louisiana to Dallas with intent to purchase drugs from Brown. It is unknown what verbal exchange took place; however, both Brown and the suspects exchanged gunfire at some point. Brown sustained fatal injuries to the chest and mouth and one suspect was also wounded.
- Suspect Jacquerious Mitchell was captured by the Dallas police after seeking medical attention for his wounds at a nearby hospital. Police later took his uncle Michael Mitchell into custody Tuesday night in Louisiana. The third suspect Thaddeous Charles Green, is still at large.
- Dallas Police obtained a search warrant for Brown’s apartment after his murder. Police confiscated 12 lbs. of marijuana, 149 grams of THC cartridges and $4,157 in cash.
- Although many people have speculated that Brown was murdered because of his testimony in the Amber Guyger trial, Dallas police have assured the public that his murder resulted from a botched drug deal. However, the community doesn’t seem to agree.
- “A cloud of suspicion will rest over this case until steps are taken to ensure the trustworthiness of the process,” Brown’s family said in a written statement.
- Social media has also been buzzing with suspicion and anger.
Joshua Brown didn’t deserve the slander tossed on his name because he was man enough to testify against a racist cop. We are drug dealers, criminals and, human traffickers when we stand up for what’s right. Racism & bigotry rains down by racists whites KILLING US. #ItMatters

We’re sending our deepest condolences to the Brown family during this unfortunate time.
