D’Shon Brown was striving for independence in his life and focused on raising his 4-year-old son. But on the night before the recent Snow Storm of Baton Rouge, his body was found outside his vehicle in the parking lot on the McDonald’s highway on the airline’s highway, covered with numerous bullet wounds.
33-year-old Melvin Robinson, Jr., was arrested on Friday and booked at the East Baton Rouge parish prison for a second-degree murder, police in Batton Rouge said. The shooting happened shortly before 4:00 pm on January 20.
Brown was the grandson of State Representative K. Denise Marcel, D-Baton Rouge, who has served at Statehouse since 2015 and also runs as mayor-president of East Baton Rouge in 2016 and again in 2020.
Marcel describes 22-year-old Brown as someone who enjoyed spending time with his family and making music with friends. He recently taught his 5-year-old brother how to read the Bible, she says.
Brown managed to overcome the “deep struggles” in the short life he had, Marcel said. He was experiencing a childhood incident that left him in a coma and at the age of 16 withstanding another coma due to a traumatic brain trauma that doctors feared was irreversible.
“He had to go through a series of rehabilitation to learn how to walk and talk again,” Marcel said.
Still, by the age of 22, Brown strives for independence and focuses on raising his son.
“He had just moved to a new apartment and was so excited,” she said. “You can see it grow, especially with your son.”
Marcel’s political career was marked by an intercession against weapons violence, as for the first time she was running for a metro station in 2008. She lost a brother of shooting as a child, and she was at the scene and visits to the hospital and spoke at numerous prayer Walking and ceremony ceremonies for victims.
“I did all this.” she said. “I don’t just want to focus on d’shawn, although it’s the injury I am experiencing right now. There are so many others that have remained unresolved. “
“I often tell other people that it will be fine because God has received them,” she added. “Now, I have to believe the same message I preach.”
Brown services will be held on Saturday at the Baptist Church Star Hill. The holiday of life will start at 10:30 am after a visit at 8 am
