When Lieutenant Brown stepped forward to arrest an intruder, Brown was shot in the stomach with a small caliber pistol while on a stakeout for a holdup. He was shot at Smitty's Steak House (restaurant), Bryans Road. He was on the operating table for four hours as surgeons attempted to remove the bullet lodged in a muscle close to the spine. Lieutenant Brown never regained consciousness.
