Sergio Brown, an NFL undrafted free agent in 2010, had a career spanning seven seasons with five different teams, including the New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Buffalo Bills.
His mother, Myrtle Brown, was known by neighbors as a delightful and sociable individual.
One neighbor, Kevin Grayer, shared with CNN affiliate WLS, “Just a lovely lady. Very soft-spoken, outgoing. Always on the go.
Just a happy person. Her personality was just wonderful. She didn’t deserve that. She was too good of a person to die like that.”
Here’s a summary of the information available regarding Myrtle Brown’s death and the ongoing search for her son, Sergio Brown:
