Ex-Jacksonville Jaguar Sergio Brown Deported, Arrested After Mother’s Death
A former defensive back who spent seven years in the NFL is in police custody under suspicion of first-degree murder.
Sergio Brown, 35, had been missing for almost a month, after the body of his deceased mother was discovered on September 16.
Police found the body of Myrtle Brown, 73, behind her Maywood, Illinois, home after relatives who had been unable to contact her alerted authorities, CNN reported.
She died from injuries sustained in an assault, the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office found, according to Cook County Director of Communications Natalia Derevyanny. Her death was ruled a homicide.
The next day, Brown’s brother, Nick Brown, posted on social media that Sergio had gone missing.
