UPDATE: 2 out of 3 suspects caught in killing of key witness to Botham Jean’s Murder

Joshua Brown

The second of 3 suspects in the killing of Joshua Brown, a key witness in the Murder of Botham Jean has been caught by police. Michael Mitchell was caught in Marksville Louisiana according to an ABC report.

Another suspect ,Jaquarious Mitchell, was transferred to police custody when he was brought to the hospital for treatment for a gun shot wound he allegedly received from Joshua Brown.

3 arrest warrants were issued for suspects Tuesday evening in the shooting of 28 year old Joshua Brown neighbor and key witness in the Botham Jean murder trial.

Police have described the incident where Brown was gunned down as a botched drug deal.

“As you know there’s been speculation and rumors that have been shared by community leaders claiming that Mr. Brown’s death was related to the Amber Guyger trial and somehow the Dallas Police Department was responsible. I assure you that is simply not true,” Assistant Chief Avery Moore of the Dallas Police Department said at a news conference on Tuesday.

Arrest warrants were issued for Thaddeous Charles Green, 22, Michael Diaz Mitchell, 32, and Jacquerious Mitchell, 20, all of Louisiana, Moore said.

According to Moore Green and the Mitchells, who are related, drove from Alexandria, Louisiana, on Friday to meet Brown for a prearranged drug deal that immediately turned bad.

    How did he get killed in a drug deal gone bad when the story on CNN portrayed him as a good guy who was afraid of guns?

    “Brown was emotional while testifying because he feared gun violence, an attorney said.
    Brown is originally from Jacksonville, Florida, and moved to Texas in 2008, he testified during the trial.
    He attended college in Florida, where studied interdisciplinary sciences. He tried to play football after college but got into roofing and became a contractor for a few years.
    At the time of his testimony, Brown said he was managing four Airbnb rental properties in Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Dallas.
    Merritt said Brown lived in constant fear of gun violence, and that’s why he was emotional on the witness stand during the trial.

    This a lesson for all gun users
    Drugs and crime do not pay
    You used the gun and you will die by the gun
    Sometimes I wonder why young men do not want to work hard
    Leave dirty money alone
    It will only result in grief and pain

    Just watch white supremacy at its best. They are going to use Black officers to railroad 3 more Black men to make it a total of 5 innocent Black men for the one white police woman that admittedly slaughtered a Black man in his own home. Story that came out is the white Dallas police so hate Black officers that the Blacks and Hispanics had to form their own police union within the same police force, 3 separate unions, they are going to use the Black officers who are kissing up to be liked by the whites to make the whole thing up while the whites kick back and laff. Nothing new here, Been happening in America for a very very long time. Sick!

      black people get involved in crime and get themselves killed and all of sudden its “white supremacy”. That kind of stupidity is why black people have not progressed in all these years. All other races leaving you people in the dust. Hispanics already overtake you as the chosen minority. That;s why democrats stop caring about black issues because they too busy learning spanish. Keep blaming the white man for everything see how far that will get you. Fools.

        Made in China (FAKE) – You truly believe the 3 this young man was killed by 3 black guys that drove from Louisiana?

        You truly believe that these guys came to buy drugs from recent witness in a very high profile case?

      No surprise on this one, it’s racist Texas. They’ll pin it on a black young man they have languishing in their jails, except they maximizing to 3 young men.

    They just arrested three black dudes who are all related. I really thought that the police had something to d with that. I was hoping the corrupt police had something to do with it. I was wrong; originally, I thought he looked kind of THUGGISH, but I did not want to come out as insensitive. So,he was a drug dealer who fired the first shot after a drug deal gone bad.

    Again, this is always how the cookie crumbles: You live by the gun, you die by it. That said, RIP.
