The arrest of former NFL player Sergio Brown, who had been missing since the discovery of his mother’s deceased body last month, has been confirmed by police. He is expected to be extradited from California to Illinois to face a first-degree murder charge in connection with the death of his 73-year-old mother, Myrtle Brown, whose body was found in a creek in the Chicago suburb of Maywood on September 16.
Brown, who had fled to Mexico, was apprehended by Mexican authorities and deported to San Diego, where he was arrested on Tuesday, according to a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation.
The 35-year-old retired athlete is currently awaiting extradition from San Diego to Maywood for the impending murder charge.
The events leading to the discovery of Myrtle Brown’s body unfolded when both Sergio and his mother were reported missing by concerned relatives on September 16. Subsequently, the police found Myrtle’s body near a creek close to their shared home. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office determined that Myrtle Brown had succumbed to injuries sustained during an assault, ruling her death a homicide.
A video circulating on social media allegedly depicting Sergio Brown in a tropical location speaking about “fake news” and his assumption that his mother was on vacation has been brought to the attention of the authorities. However, the authenticity of the video has yet to be confirmed.
The family of Myrtle Brown has released a statement urging the authorities to proceed with the case, emphasizing the necessity of closure in such tragic circumstances. Notably, they have had no contact with Sergio Brown since his disappearance.
Sergio Brown, a former footballer who played for the New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Buffalo Bills, has been causing disturbances during his deportation, according to sources.
Remembered for her caring nature and outgoing personality, Myrtle Brown’s family is deeply affected by her untimely demise. They have expressed gratitude for the support received during this difficult time and are hopeful that justice will be served in memory of their beloved matriarch.
