Angelo E. Brown

Police Officer Angelo Brown was shot and killed after being robbed on Sterling Place, near Buffalo Avenue, shortly after 2:00 am.

Officer Brown was walking home from a club in Brooklyn when he slipped on ice and fell to the ground. When he fell, two men spotted Officer Brown's off-duty gun and attacked him, stealing his gun. When they attempted to flee in a car, Officer Brown jumped on the hood in an attempt to stop them. After Officer Brown fell from the hood of the car, the one suspect exited the car and fatally shot him.

Both suspects, ages 19 and 26, were apprehended, convicted of second-degree murder, and sentenced to 25 years to life. Both were paroled; the oldest in 2020 and the other in 2021.

Officer Brown was a United States Marine Corps veteran and had served with the New York City Police Department for one year, assigned to the 84th Precinct.

Officer Brown,
On today, the 40th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the USMC in Vietnam fighting the NVA and VC. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
